Murphy and Maddox both had 10-12 baby teeth pulled when they were neutered. They were pretty much back to normal within 24 hours.
I hope Ben and Candy both feel better soon. Sending them gentle huggins from my crew.

No, but periodically when she has really gotten a lot of exercise (usually when the grand kids are out at the pool -- she runs back and forth wanting to get splashed, loves the water), she limps. It was always the same left front paw in the air. It would usually be fine within a day or two. This last time it went to the third day and the vet finally got to see her doing it. (I think they thought I was crazy as I had brought her in twice before and she wasn't limping by the time we came in and nothing on her leg or paw is sore to the touch.) He suggested the xrays since I was getting her teeth cleaned anyway. It was minimal narrowing, much the same as people get as they age. She is only 6 years old and has no arthritis evidence, so he thought maybe she had injured a disk at one time by jumping. She is a jumper! (Typical Jack Russell!) She is so healthy tho! This won't be a problem, not bad enough for surgery or anythin. Now I have Rimadal and he made note in her record that I can call for refills any time she does limp.
Ben is doing better. He is finally up and around. He just did not want to move last night. Did not eat or drink. I gave him a little Nutrical just to be safe. Today, he is still turning away from all food except I baked some chicken breast and he finally made an exception. Do I have a spoiled baby or what?
He deserves some home cooked chicken after his ordeal tho.
Hope he doesn't hold this against Annie. I can hear him thinking...."first she brings home this little ball of fur that won't leave me alone, and then I have to go get neutered -- all because she is so little????? Grrrrrr....." Poor thing!
