She did not have much tartar at all either which is why i was so surprised
Ask if anyone was with him last night as one thing that upsets me is when they leave the dog there all night and no one is there with him checking on him all night as this happens alot after spay and neuters and then the owner asks if anyone will be there over night and vet says NO - not cool. I brought mine home for spay, neuters and all dentals never had to leave over night - if they are with him 24/7 then ok but i bet no one was with him and hope i am wrong |
no idea if anyone was there. hes home now
I talked to the vet and he said they took out practically all of his teeth in front and one or 2 in back b.c they were so bad and he has gum disease
but he said the rest of his teeth look good now. he gave me some antibiotics to give him for a while, but he should start feeling better now. He also fed him some wet food and he didnt throw up so i have to get some and try that out. He did say that he doesnt think it is IBD, even of the small intestine, b/c he throws up SO FAST after eating/while eating that the food hadnt had time to get that far into the digestion yet..so if it is inflammation it would prob be of the stomach..but we prob wont do any of that until later if it doesnt stop.
Also he wasnt given up..he was taken from a puppy mill, where he was used as stud
and they clearly didnt take care of HIM so im glad they took him away. One of the poms they rescued from the same breeder had gum/teeth problems also..so this lady should NOT have been breeding small dogs. my poor baby. they did say if i want we can do the gel thing to keep his teeth clean or protect against bacteria but the best thing we can do is just keep an eye on them and have them checked/cleaned at least once a year..theres nothin we can do about him havin gum disease other than that..i dont care if he has teeth as long as he doesnt have organ failure later in life, cuz ive heard that periodontal disease can cause that!
