i dont think they did xrays for his face. They did ones for everything else, but they just told me he had receding gums or something that caused the roots to show which couldve been painful to him (which is why they took them out.) Im glad the one chew is normal though hes done so well with the way im doing it now, so we'll see when hes on all kibble. but i am just gonna try to recondition him to understand to eat one or 2 pieces at a time like my pom does. It may take quite a long time, but i think after a while he may start getting the point. Plus im doing the small meal on my lunch now too, which i think really is helping him stay full better and slowing him down a little. Plus now that im pretty sure its probably not food allergy related, i can give him a treat every now and then, like those ones for his teeth..and maybe that'll fill him up a little so hes not starving for dinner.

what problems u mean that xray couldve found? what would that cause?
