Or it is that he's not really having a reaction to the medicine, but he's reacting to the situation. We won't know until we try. Or you could just let the tooth fall out by itself. The choice for me is clear. I would choose the latter. He's a happy healthy 11 year old with missing teeth - which is normal for an older yorkie. Thanks everyone for your inputs. I really appreciate it. |
I don't feel I misunderstood bc what you said, exactly, was "I cannot take him to the vet except for annual shots".
And to me, that is not safe or good care for a senior kiddo. They need more care than that, whether or not they have fear or anxiety about going.
