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 |
ok ill look into the wipey things..its just IMPOSSIBLE to get him to hold still for it cuz he doesnt like ppl touchin his mouth and hes so squirmy.
maybe they did xray i have no idea, if its a normal thing they prob did and thats prob why cleaning are so expensive. my bill from that day does have x ray listed like 3-4 times (2 different places on bill) so maybe one was for teeth and the rest were for barium.
