| Dental surgery on Wednesday... tips/advice? Well my little bug decided to retain his baby teeth. Ugh, I swear vets just love to make up rediculous pricing for all this. His teeth are going to cost almost as much as it did to neuter him. Anyway, he goes in Wednesday morning, I'm nervous, but have a great vet. Anyone know what the process is when he comes home. I know when he came back from being neutered he could slowly eat, and he was pretty doped up. Will I have to cook for him/I'm assuming with teeth surgery he wont be able to eat kibble right away? Anyways. I'll be a wreak the whole time he's gone, but I know he'll be fine, there's a real low chance anything will go wrong right? Especially since he had a good surgery when he was neutered?

Oh well, he won't be under for as long. Feed him soft food, they still should provide you with pain med and antibiotics. Make sure they do a blood test on him again. You never know if an infection is lurking.

| He was neutered at right 6 months, because of growing marking issues and "friskiness". they were supposed to haul any retained teeth, but I guess they weren't "retained" then. maybe his adult ones hadn't grown in yet. So yeah, I'm not too happy that I have to put him under again. Thank-god my insurance covers dental yearly, at least I'll get some of it back.

| The vet had told me not to give him anything until the next morning. He actually ate the kibble fine - no need to moisten it or anything. My little guy had 11 extracted - so that was quite a lot (at least that's what I thought). Anyway, I dropped him off at the vets at 8 am and picked him up at around 3 pm and my dog acted like nothing had ever happened to him.
