I'm glad all went well. Don't feel bad your doing the best you can. Oh and that sounds about average in price for a dental, they are always expensive. Brownie's last dental was atleast $350.
Sometimes you can do all the care in the world and it still doesn't help much.
Brownie lost a majority of his teeth and I'm afraid when he goes back for another dental he will lose some more. He is 7 years old. I've had him since he was three. I've brushed his teeth on a regular basis, give him treats for his teeth, add additives to his water, scale his teeth myself every month but he still ended up loosing those teeth when he went in for his yearly dentals. The vet said I was doing everything I could and it would have been worse if I hadn't but it just couldn't be helped.
Now my Destiny who is 5 has amazing teeth and hasn't needed a dental because her teeth are in such great shape and I haven't done nearly as much with her as I have with Brownie. So some yorkies are just more prone to have dental issues than others. |
