Awww... I pray you're little girl adjusts to her lack of teeth quickly. My darling Maltese has inherited her bad teeth and gums from her mother, sadly she's had more taken out than she has left in her mouth. They do adjust quite well, the gums actually harden and they are able to eat pretty much like they used to. As for the hanging tongue on just the one side, it's just the side she likes it to go, it could be the side she used to chew on (we have fav sides we eat on, so do they...lol) and it's a habit or more comfy. I'm sure you're vet has shared what you should be feeding her in the meantime while she heals, during that time I felt so horrible that I would feed her special snacks made special for her....lol Today Shy'la eats anything and everything and in her book the more the merrier...lol Her last visit the Dr had to take out her lower left canine and yep, her tongue hangs out... I just laugh these days as I do know it wasn't ALL my fault she lost her teeth, but I wouldn't trade her for the world. Keep us up to date on how your baby is doing!
