He doesn't show any pain or discomfort, but maybes he's hiding it and now this will help him. I hope he enjoys food as he does today. Lilily - does the tongue hanging out seem to bother her? How long did it take for her to recoup? |
If there is infection an extraction is a must for his health. Our Roxie was 15 when all but four of her teeth were removed surgically. A week later even at that age she was like a new dog, more energy and definitely much happier and the smell was gone. She kept the four pointy canine teeth and her tongue DID NOT hang out.
I am sure she would not have lived to 17yr 10 mnths without the surgery.
