I'm not surprised by the teeth issue but am a bit surprised by the news. Her breeder has dings all over his record for teeth issues. I'm just surprised that there wasn't the early decay I was expecting (I brush her teeth and regularly check for issues, but it's hard to do a thorough cleaning on a squirming gal) but the teeth growth issue. They are pulling a baby molar to stop the crowding out her adult teeth, and she'll be home soon. They had three people in the room- standard procedure. The tech to help the doc, and another qualified person watching the vitals at all times. I saw a review where a dog bit the line to heck and I got EXTREMELY nervous a week ago, but, thanks to you, I was able to approach this calmly. Thought I'd give an update. |
So happy to hear it went well! <3 Thanks for updating!
