I can't remember the name Sherry, but I will ask my DIL when she comes to pick up Kerra this evening. She is a Vet Tech for my vet so she will know the name.

I wish my life was a happy and pampered as theirs !" I still worry and feel guilty when stuff happens. But my Vet is 100% right !
My Gracie girl has had so many dental and other face problems. Her mouth is very tiny too. I have to use a long thing that looks like a Q-tip to brush her teeth.
HUGS

I know not to beat myself up, but I can't help it..thank goodness I know my baby and am usually on top of things and take her right in. Thanks so much for your words of encouragement.
PS what is the long thing you use? one of those long medical swabs like they use in the human dr office? and where do you get them? I can't get my fingers into the very back of Jada's mouth. Would love to try this.

Please let us know when you buy what the Vet recommended and what it is. If he says it works so well for little mouths, I'm all over that!

Jada is gorgeous with or without a long beard. Boy was she pizzed at you in that first pic LOL

I will update when I find out the name of the stuff for tartar..and yep Jada was really pissed at momma this morning

[normarae63]

No worries...I just thought maybe seeing the name of a product would give you an ahh ha .. moment

Poor Jada! I never knew this could happen and I am going to look more closely at my boys' mouths to make sure I am not missing anything.

You are a great mom for getting her to the vet right away. I'm glad she didn't have to be sedated since she is having her dental cleaning next week. Crossing our paws for her that she will keep all of her teeth.

Sending Jada hugs.

Poor Jada and mom! Best wishes to both of you!

LOL Sherry, I have moments but they are usually the go blank moments

Poor Jada! I'm glad you found out what was going on and got her in before it really drove her nuts. Having all that stuck in her teeth probably was stressful but mommies do get sick and feel very bad - we're human! It's amazing how many things can go wrong with these little ones. She looks so cute and young after her haircut. I hope she likes it as much as Tibbe does.

Thanks Kristin..I swear with Jada it is always something I know it could be a lot worse..it will be a year next month when I found the lump on her back..glad this wasn't anything that dramatic. Though I was bonkers this morning when I saw all this hair.

Jeanie she had to be very uncomfortable..you know how bad we feel when a popcorn husk or something small gets between our teeth..this wad of hair was huge!! I told Doc that Jada was my high maintenance baby

Michelle, I'm so sorry to hear you've not been Well and then have to go through something like this with Jada! I agree with others, I wouldn't beat yourself up over it though. Sick or not, you were vigilant enough to carry on your routine of brushing and found the problem and got her to the vet before a serious infection had set in.
Jada still looks so precious with her short beard.
I'm glad you posted this thread along with the pictures because I would've never imagined that their hair could get caught around their teeth! Yazmin's beard is not that long but it does get in her mouth when she eats. She too has a very small mouth and it's hard to brush her back teeth but I'll at least know to inspect her teeth more often. I'll be watching your post for the name of the dental rinse you mentioned.

Take care of yourself and that little Jada Bug!

Thanks so much Carla!! I too would have never imagined all that hair wound around teeth If I catch her chewing I always pull the hair out of her mouth and tell her no no..but she has a terrible habit..now just hoping she gets to keep her big canine tooth I will for sure update on the dental rinse

[EarthAngel]

I am just seeing your post and who would have thought something like this could happen. Thankfully, you saw it and got Jada to the vet. I hadn't known you were sick and glad to hear you are better, Michelle. Prayers for Jada's dental next week.

[jadabug]

The dental rinse my vet recommended is called Dentahex. My DIL who is a vet tech does dentals and says it works. My vet did say there is no miracle cure for small dogs who are prone to having bad teeth, like Jada. But he says this will help keep the tartar from building up so quickly along with brushing. I am just trying to hopefully save as many teeth as I can as Jada gets older.

[MishyMish]

OMG and stuck in the teeth! I hope everything goes well!

[Ldyrev1]

Awwwww poor Jada and poor mommy!! This is something that I never would have thought could happen. I learn new things everyday on YT! I hope Jade has a good check up next week and that you realize you can't be everywhere all the time!!

[BabyGirl Rosie]

Oh my gosh! Where have I been all day!! I knew I was tired but geeeeezzzz! Michelle I am so glad Jada is ok! How scary!! I would have never thought hair!! Give that previous girl a hug.
