PatricksMom Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I've been told 24 hours, but I don't know with an extraction--probably best to call the vet and ask.

Guest greytpets Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I usually leave it alone the day after then brush the next day, so Thursday for you. Just because theyre grogging the day they go home, leave it a day to settle down but should be fine by the day after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rascalsmom Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Ruby recently had a dental and two extractions. I waited a few days before resuming brushing. Just be careful around the extraction site; Ruby's seemed to be very tender. Quote Phoebe (Belle's Sweetpea) adopted 9/2/13.

Guest greyvettech Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Well, if she is on Clavamox she probably had pretty bad gingivitis and infection issues..If she had an extraction, her gums will be tender for a couple days-I would probably wait a week or so then get back into the brushing routine....give her a little bit of a break.....Metronidazole is generally given for diarrhea...maybe she has colitis too?

RobinM Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 When Polli had her extractions (17) they told me I could do it immeditately. I waited 3 days.

Guest greytpets Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Metronidazole (Flagyl) in combination with amoxicillin is used for severe and chronic periodontal disease or after an extraction. Jester has it after every dental (3-6 months) as he has a severe hyper-sensitivity to plaque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruby was on Tramadol for five days (for pain), and she was also on metronidazole....they told me it worked as an antibiotic. She also has gingivitis, and had two extractions. Absolutely no colitis, either. Quote Phoebe (Belle's Sweetpea) adopted 9/2/13. Jack (BTR Captain Jack) 9/28/05--11/2/12Always missing Buddy, Ruby, and Rascal.
