Does this vet know what shes is doing or is she just tring to pay off her student loans. She is a young DR. right out of vet school? Should I seek a second opinion. melanie  |
Fudgie is 7 months old an has an appointment for his neuter/dental on Wednesday.... He hasn't lost a single baby tooth and they're so bad they may have to pull a couple adult teeth as well. One of his lower permanent canines will most likely need to be extracted. They way it's coming in it'll grow straight up and into the roof of his mouth. His bite is totally ruined and I'm sure he (and I) will be doomed to a life of expensive yearly dentals... My advice: Get it fixed now. Delaying it could cause even more problems down the road.
