Brushing teeth, how about wrapping a piece of gauze around the finger as a toothbrush? I've read that had success with some dogs that didn't like regular brushes.
She is still a bit skinny although she has gained 14oz. The vet would like her to gain about that much more before her spay. Also, he fur has grown out some since she first got shaved so she is looking so much better!

I'll have to ask what kind of brush he is using because I'm not sure. As for brushing her teeth, he said he is trying the brush that fits on his finger but I'll tell him about the gauze idea. He says she cries and twists around like crazy whenever he is trying to do any type of grooming and she hates to have her feet or ears touched. The vet told him to try cheese spread on dog biscuits to distract her. So far he says that's not working but she does like chicken jerkey. One last thing is that he has to measure her food because she will eat until she is sick if he leaves it out.
