Guest paulamariez Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Bueller just had another horrible infection in his mouth from a bad tooth. He gets these scary dizzy spells for some reason when the infection moves in, but thankfully they stop right away after the antibiotic kicks in. We got him started on antibiotics yesterday and he is responding well. Anyhow, we've had absolutely no money to spare to get his dental done (poor sweetheart), but we've finally got half the money this week and the vet is going to let us post date another check for next Friday so poor Bueller can get his dental done this Friday. I've felt like such a horrible mom, knowing how he must be suffering with those terrible teeth. But there was just nothing we could do. We have no credit cards or saving account and have been living paycheck to paycheck and I've been unable to work because of my lupus. This week the antibiotic money came out of our grocery money. Although I am relieved that Bueller is having his dental on Friday, this is a new vet we're going to and none of our hounds have ever had to be put under by them, so I am very nervous. They have not had a ton of greyhound experience, but they seem competent enough. But Bueller did have a platelet count on the lower side the last time they did a blood panel, but still within the normal greyhound guidlelines. I am an anxious, worried greyhound mom and after reading some of the other dental outcomes lately, I'm even more worried! I know this is a petty thing in comparison to some of the other posts, but please keep my sweet little Bueller in your thoughts or prayers for a good outcome on his dental on Friday. Thank you all so much for your support. Bueller and I appreciate it. Here is my tender heart: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest paulamariez Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Yay!!! I just got the call from the vet and Bueller's dental is done!!! And the most important thing was that he was waking up from the anesthesia as we spoke!!! They actually did not have to remove any of his teeth. It was his gums that were getting the bad infections in them. He has gingivitis very bad and his gums are receding, but the vet said his teeth are still good and very strong. Now hopefully he won't get those gum infections anymore. Now for the bad news, the bill total. I think my vet charges are exhorbitant because here is the run down of the bill: pre-blood testing chem panel, his distemper combo vaccine, anesthesia, IV and dental, (no extractions) and a pain medication to take home and a spray for his gums to take home: grand total= $658.00 !!!! And the original price I was quoted was around $400, more if there were extractions. I was not planning on this large of an amount and don't have that much saved, so I hope that they let me take my boy home! They're going to have to wait a month until Ronn gets his next paycheck for the rest of the money. They warned me it would be a bit more because he was due for his vaccination and they wouldn't do the surgery unless they gave it to him, but I didn't expect this much. And they wonder why it took us so long to get Bueller in there for a dental! But of course, he is worth every penny because I love my little boy to bits! It's been very lonely without Bueller here today, since he's the only hound that follows me around all day. The other two poops are (guess where!) in bed sleeping! I will post a picture of my groggy guy when he gets home. We can't pick him up until 4:30pm CST and I can't wait! THANKS to all who kept Bueller in their thoughts and prayers! I truly believe the good thoughts help for a good outcome! And I will continue to pray for everyone else's hound that needs it!! Thanks again for the support!!

Guest paulamariez Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Here is my sleepy, sleepy boy Bueller. He's safe at home in one of his favorite beds, wearing his green badge of honor, the wrap where his IV was. His teeth are sparkling clean and never looked better and his breath doesn't stink at all! The vet said that Bueller didn't have the worst teeth she's seen, but he did have the worst breath! Not any more! Bueller says thanks to all who sent good thoughts his way! They helped him through!
