Took Sugar into the vet yesterday after she apparently had an encounter with a fire ant nest last week while with the petsitter
Her entire muzzle is full of pustules and scabs and she has missing chunks of hair from scratching herself bald
Vet put her on 2 different meds for pain and itching along with Aveeno baths and coconut oil on the hot spots.
The bright spot of the visit was when Dr. Nina looked at her teeth (she has stage 3 periodontal disease and had 6 teeth removed December 2010). She said "Her teeth and gums look GREAT!! What are you doing with them?" ( I know I had told her before ~ but she must have been distracted
)
So I told her again about using the Sonicare on her teeth. She then called in her new partner and they both gushed about how different her teeth looked than in the photos in her records!! They agreed that Sonicare is going into their new dental regime recommendations for pet parents
So I left feeling that even if I failed to protect Sugar Baby from the Damn fire ants, I feel great about the current state of her oral care
