Our 6 mo old Addie is also having a horrible time with her teeth. Took her to vet last week and he prescribed pain medication and canned food (Hills i/d). She doesn't like it. I've been crushing up the Orijen puppy food and mixing it with the i/d and she will eat a little if I hand feed her. I've added a little honey at times, but it doesn't help much. She loves Nutrical, so she gets a couple of dabs of that. Joan gave here some turkey this morning and she ate it fine.
Addie has permanent teeth coming in, but most puppy teeth are still there. Vet wants to wait till August and see if puppy teeth will loosen up a little and then remove puppy teeth and spay her at the same time.
Her brother, Raider, isn't having any problems with teeth. He has lost a few puppy teeth and has a few permanent teeth coming in. He gobbles his food and tries to help Addie with hers. He is having a "hot" affair with SockMonkey, so neutering is coming soon for him. |
