On our Way To VET 2 Attachment(s) I was face washing and brushing teeth this morning when I found something odd on Jada's front teeth...OMG I feel so horrible. I have been sick and hadn't brushed teeth since Saturday and I really don't think this was there when I did. I have gotten most of it out..but there is still more. I am sure she will be put on antibiotics as the remaining hair (yes it is HAIR) is at the gumline and some probably below the gumline. Jada is so pissed at me right now and I could just cry for not seeing this sooner. She chews on her beard hair a lot..so guess what..bye bye long beard when we get back from the vet. YES THAT IS HAIR!! AND BOY IT STINKS :( Attachment 381223 Very mad little girl right now:rolleyes: Attachment 381224 |
Hope all goes well. She is a beauty. |
Thank You..I just hope they don't have to sedate..if so it will be tomorrow before anything can be done..she has eaten breakfast already this morning :( |

That is amazing that she chewed off that much hair! Huey gets strands in his mouth all the time, but I have never found it stuck in his teeth, thank goodness. (I could see myself trying to floss him before going to the vet...doubt that would work out, though, since he wont even let me brush his teeth...he does it himself!) Good luck at the vet. :D |
Aww little Jada. I hope the visit goes well and they do not have to sedate |
Michelle I'm not able to tell what that 1st pic is...tiny hairballs? |
Poor Jada! Hope all goes well. |
Hope all goes well at the vet... poor baby! |
Poor poor jada!! :hands: those teeth tighten back up in a hurry :eek: Don't beat yourself up Michelle, my girls have been lacking a bit of grooming with my son back home : :hug: |

Stuck in her teeth? |
My gosh poor Jada, I have never seen anything like that. I hope she feels better soon. |
well if you were sick you cant beat urself up to bad we all have times when we cant follow our regular routine. i hope jada is ok and gives you loves after shes done being pissed. |
Well we are back from the vet..Doc had to hold Miss Wiggle butt while the tech got the rest of the hair out. It was wound between her right incisor and the first lower canine tooth. The incisor was loose when they got the remaining hair, but the vet is hoping with 10 days of clindamyacin the tooth tightens up. Jada is getting her annual dental a month early (next Wed) praying she doesn't lose more teeth..he says it is because her mouth is so tiny that I can't get the toothbrush in there good. He also recommended an different dental tooth wash which I am getting next week. |
oh my.. I sure hope the teeth are ok after the cleaning. Don't beat yourself up.. I am now feeling very VERY guilty about how lax I am with brushing teeth. I will do better because this scared me:) |
Glad to hear that Jada is fine and please let us know how her dental cleaning goes next week. Any suggestions you can give for dental hygiene would be greatly appreciated. Cooper is 13 weeks old and I am currently using dental wipes followed by a gel, but if anyone can suggest a better system, I would really appreciate it. |
2 Attachment(s) Well per vets instructions the beard is lots shorter now...I did a butcher job on it because I didn't want to stress Jada any more than what she already was..I will even it up on bath day Saturday...she looks like a little pup :) I actually like it once I get it evened up.

He said it works really well, especially for these little mouthed babies (jada has a tiny mouth and the even have a hard time getting to her back molars for cleaning) It is an enzyme wash that you use twice daily. He says it really helps on keeping tartar from forming. It will be a year in March since Jada's last dental and even with brushingwith a good toothpast (CET) and a water additive she still has horrible tartar. He likened it to the same as humans..some have good teeth and some have bad no matter what you do :( Get Cooper used to brushing while he is young that is key to good dental care. |
Did the vet say why she might be doing this? Sapphire once ate a bunch of her own hair.... I had tried giving her coconut chips which I thought she had chewed up... two days later I find a hair mass/ball... thought it was from a cat. I cut it open and found a stack of coconut chips (think Pringles but smaller) encased inside the mass of hair! It took me about 30 minutes to cut it apart...really weird. |
Awww poor little Jada glad the vet got it all and I hope the tooth tightens up. She still looks every cute with her beard cut. |

Wow on Sapphire..I bet that scared the crap out of you!! I know finding this hair wound around Jada's tooth scared me to death. I am glad I found it today and that I have an amazing vet who knows how I get spastic over everthing and worked us in first thing this morning. Quote:

I am glad they were able to get it out! |

Annual dentals are so important..especially if you have a baby who is prone to bad teeth, no matter what you do to care for them. |
Awww, poor Jada. I'm so glad you do regular maintenance and found that though before it got any more infected. Jada is gorgeous no matter what style of hair cut she sports. :) My Moka also chews on her beard hair and sometimes has a foul odor despite having very clean white teeth. Guess what I am inspecting closer? :D For her its a nervous habit. I'll try to take the little piece out of her mouth, and she'll turn right back around and have it back in there. It's like a pacifier to her. Silly girls. |
I used coconut oil on my own tooth that came loose one weekend. It stopped the pain and prevented infection, and the tooth tightened back up by the next weekend. Maybe it would work for her? |

Aw I am praying for you and our sweet Jada. I feel for you. Don't beat yourself up too much, things can and do happen. We learn and keep going. My Vet once told me, "Teresa, stop feeling awful when something happens. You can't protect the Yorkies from life ! Stuff happens and when it does, you bring them in. 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 |
Wow!! I am just now seeing this. I'm amazed at how much she got stuck in there. I will keep an eye on Mandie's for sure now. 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 |

The hair I was able to get out of her mouth was so foul smelling. I almost lost it..from smell and stress of it even being there in the first place. |
