I have to call after 12 to see how she did. Her face looks great today but that is because it is now draining on the inside. So I am so glad I brought her in.

I will keep you posted

Oh boy, I know that feeling! Hoping all goes well today!

Sending prayers for Pebbles and for you this morning. I know how nerve wracking it is when we have to leave our babies. Praying for the procedure to go well and a speedy recovery.

great job patti

so glad your baby is getting fixed up today she will do great and we are praying for her - keep us posted

Ok the dr just called me. She is out of surgery and sitting up in her cage right now. He said the tooth definatly had an abcess and it was dead. There is another one on the other side that is starting to abcess he gave her another shot of antibiotic and she will be an them at home along with pain medicine. He said her teeth are very bad already and she looks like she will have problems down the road with bad teeth.. He will show me the x-rays when I go to pick her up. Her bone density is very bad. She only just turned 2 in March and all she eats is hard kibble and water. I can't understand it. I have to call about 3ish and they will let me know when I could get her home. I will let you know how she is when i go get her.

Thanks again for all your thoughts and prayers.

My poor girlie


If it weren't for you guys who knows what would have happened to my baby. Thank you..... Thank you...... Thank you !!!!

did he remove the other tooth? If it is starting to abssess it needed to be removed or she will have to go under again My demi lost 27 teeth at 4 years old due to periodontal disease and I did a lot of research on this. If the teeth are bad they need to go or they will affect other teeth. Was her globulin high on her blood work as that is a sign of periodontal disease. It is very common in toy breeds to have periodontal disease.

The bone to tooth ratio is very small in toy breeds is where the problem lies unlike in humans and big dogs so if they have bone loss it will affect their teeth.

I don't know about the globulin I will ask when I pick her up. I don't think he took out the other tooth. I will find out more info.

I was just thankful she was out of surgery.

I will let you know when I get home

ok I just do not want her to have to go under again if it can be avoided but what is done is done i guess let us know and i am glad she made it through surgery real well

COQ10 is used in dogs with periodontal disease so you may want to ask about that

I'm so glad the surgery went well. She'll be feeling so much better soon.

I wonder if there's some type of supplement she could take to improve her teeth and bone density? Can dogs have calcium supplements or things like that?

Are you guys not noticing the cereal theme here???Coco Pebbles---Trixie Except for Wally. He came named and we loved it so we kept it.

Ok She's home. I picked her up a little while. She is doing great. Just a little woosy but good. She drank a little water and had a few kibbles. It's there if she wants it. We are all in my bedroom in the nice air conditioning. I have blankets and doggy beds and water and food. IT"S A PARTY!!! My hubby is on a business trip til tomorrow.

The dr said that she has not so good jaw bone so she probably will have teeth problems in the future. So we will watch it closely. I don't ever want to have a sore on her face ever again!!!
