Really bad teeth situation :( I'm in need of advice and/or suport please no harsh words as I'm already distraught about this.
My sweet girl is almost 8 years old and has horrible teeth. Due to living overseas she was with a family member for 3 years and didn't get proper check ups. We just got here back and she's missing teeth and has loose teeth. She's seen a few vets and they all insist on immediate cleaning and extractions, they freak out about her teeth cause they are so bad . I'm terrified about putting her under... her age and size are big factors, she's only 4 pounds (sooo tiny and while healthy she's she's petite little thing)
She doesn't seem bothered or senstive about them and has no problems with her kibbles (watered down) I'm just so worried about something happening with surgery . I also wonder if the damage has already been done, if it really will help much in terms of life span.
What would you do? |
