I have about 1600 total to my name right now and while my girl is always worth it I just cannot spend that much. It would also mean waiting possibly another whole month. Due to my anxiety and depression I do not think I can wait that long as I have already almost been hospitalized myself. I cannot even function because of all this.
So for right now I will need to just stick with the regular dental cleaning. |
Many vets have dental xray equipment. You do not necessarily need to go to a specialist. Do the best you can afford. As for going forward, if you can't brush the teeth, there are some products like water additives that can work. HealthyMouth Dog Essential is a VOHC approved product. VOHC also has a number of other products that can help. I would also try a cat toothbrush instead. CET makes one and it is small and can be snuck into the smaller dog's mouth.
