Glad to hear that Tibbe is awake and waiting for your to come get him. Another dental accomplished!

You might want to consider starting some sort of enzyme treatment for his teeth. They have been known to work pretty well. One of our YT members posted a picture of the really great results with one of her own dogs. It was quite impressive. Sorry, I can't remember who it was.

Gracie is on a commercial raw diet. Raw meats have natural enzymes that help keep the mouth free of plaque. At this point she still has shinny white teeth and has no need of a dental . I hope it stays that way. I do feed my cats kibble and because most kibble does help promote plaque I am getting an enzyme additive to put in the cats water.
Amazon.com: Biotene Veterinarian Water Additive:...Amazon.com: Biotene Veterinarian Water Additive:... With the cats I decided a water additive would be the easiest way to deal with it. I sure don't want to tote all those cats to the vets for dental cleanings as they get older. I have adopted (or I have been adopted by) several cats that live in the woods but eat on my patio as well as my own personal house cats.

There are so many kinds of enzyme products out there now that you have quite a wide range to choose from. There are tooth pastes, sprays and gels. I know you said you already brush Tibbe's teeth. Does that tooth paste have enzymes in it? Many of these products are all natural but there are some that are not.

I hope Tibbe is all recovered when you get him home. I had to take Gracie to get her nails done today and she is pouting still. Hopefully, Tibbe is more forgiving.
