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? |
when they put mine out for dental they do full mouth xrays and that is the only way they know if they have abssesses as that is at the roots and no way they can see in a normal cleaning and abssesses are very painful. I cannot believe they did a dental cleaning and put him under anesthesia and did not do xrays? that does not sound right to me especially if he said he has gum disease ? My friends dog had no loose teeth and when they did xray her dog had 7 abssess teeth. He was not eating - i would just call vet and ask if he did mouth xrays while under for teeth cleaning as they usually do that
nothing replaces brushing teeth so get chlorhexedine pet dental wipes from
www.drsfosterandsmith.com as that is what dentist use to keep bacteria down in mouth when they do dentals and a non-anesthetic dental cleaner told me this is what she uses as well
