Keep Jackson in your thoughts tomorrow

[Britster]

Awww, my feelings are so hurt. He is SO mad at me right now lol. He is not even wagging his tail when I come up to him and he doesn't want me to pet him. He won't even come lay on my bed with me.

I know it's the anesthesia and all, it is breaking my heart tho. I am feeling so guilty right now! I'm contemplating canceling his Wed. morning mobile grooming appt because it takes so long to re-gain his trust back from things like this, and if we wake up another morning and he's shoved into a grooming van, I swear, he will ignore me for a week, LOL... I know it sounds ridiculous, but he is so ridiculously smart, and doesn't forget anything... Eeekkk, he needs a hair cut tho. ha.

Anyway here are pics. The before is hard to see but the canines were very green (such an odd color, but vet said it was in fact tarter/plaque) and tops were yellowing and forming thick plaque. The back teeth weren't too bad at all. Oh and his bottom canine on that side is shaved down, if you're wondering why lol. He has an overbite so 2 years ago went under to get it shaved down so it could no longer reach the roof of his mouth, where it causing a hole.

Whew! It is also such a relief to know they woke up! I know you feel so much better now and so glad no teeth needed pulling! That is big to me that he didn't. Now you can let him sleep it off and spend the week spoiling him rotten and giving him a whirl of fun. Good, good news!

Awww poor wittle Jackson!! He will be ok Brit, just let him do what he wants. Hopefully in a couple hours he will be over it and willing to snuggle!!

So glad he did ok!

Ohhhhh, looks like you got him in just in time and they did a really good job. I'd watch those dark spots on those 3 teeth - the canine and two just mesial(isn't that the term they use?) to it. Good for you for getting him in when you did. Now just keep up a good dental hygiene program and keep it up and all is good.

[TxVicki]

Yeah glad that he doing well and is home with you now.

[Maximo]

I am very happy to hear that Jackson is home, and I agree with you, cancel that grooming appointment. Wait a week.

He is probably just woozy from the anesthesia. After Max had his eye surgery, he didn't even recognize me.

Wishing Jackson and his pretty teeth a peaceful evening of rest. Glad the big day is over.

[MandiesMom]

Well, his teeth look great now. Good job on getting him in! Sorry...I didn't get on last night so just seeing this. Mandie had her dental last week and I sure would've offered some moral support

I can google (and will) but what is OraVet?

Very happy Jackson didn't need any teeth pulled!

I *think* I commented on Mandie's thread, so glad to hear it went well for her too.

Oravet is this stuff like a plaque-barrier and they put on the first application when under so the teeth can be completely dried, for best results. Then in 2 weeks, I brought some home with me, and you'll apply it once a week yourself. If you google, their site explains a lot I think it will really help!

The vet also sent me home with samples of Wysong Dentatreat and it's like a powder you put over their food. They also gave us a sample of Oxyfresh for their water but I am going to look into this before using, I tend to recall it being made in China, or having some controversial ingredient? so I probably won't use it.


Of course brushing in between too. Every day, but no less than every other day they said or it's pointless to do.

Did the vet send you home with anything for Mandie?

Hmmm, if Mandie's teeth continue to build tarter the way they did this past year, I will ask my vet about this stuff. No, they didn't send anything home with her. I brush her teeth (not every day but at least every other day). The only ones that had the build up were a couple of the molars in the top back. But, that's with her not even having those teeth a whole year since she just turned a year lol. I'm thinking she's going to have teeth issues so I want to be well informed and prepared for the future.
