Gabi just now started eating her kibble again after I stopped giving her anything else.
One other thing I would like to mention about your vet recommending a teeth cleaning at 12 months  ...way too soon for that. I presume he was planning on doing this under anethesia and then pull the baby teeth while your baby was out. I have been using a safe and natural tooth spray for Gabi since she was 3 months old. It is called Denta Sure and you can buy it on line. It works great on keeping her teeth tartar free and breath fresh. I just spray it in both sides of her mouth everyday . She doesn't mind it at all. Just thought I'd pass this info on to you.  |
Hey thanks so much for your response. I've never had a yorkie before but am quickly learning their quirks.. I am finding a new vet as the one we originally saw is way too overpriced and has nit been very helpful but my research also said a year was too soon to clean. We've been busboy his teeth at home but I will look for that spray - if you take good care of teeth at home is it necessary to do the anesthesia cleaning? I'm encoraging chewing and hoping these come out on their own both sets look white and healthy so I'm not too worried. He's spoiled rotten so we just get concerned very quickly
were onto finding a new food because he's refusing to eat the food he's had for 5 months is that spray available at petsmart?
