I took in a 4 year old Yorkie for a couple of days and fell in love. However, I took her back to the breeder because my vet needed $500 to do the spay and teeth. Now I'm finding out that the breeders vet can do it for much less.
I am considering taking her back again. I fell in love with her.
What I need help on is it that her gums are very red and her teeth are horrible, is there anything I can do to allieviate some of the discomfort until her vet can perform the procedure. Should I be concerned that other problems could exist because of this?
I don't want to adopt her and then have her constantly in pain because of teeth.
I will brush her teeth daily if that's what it takes.
She will be a therapy dog.
