Guest MAXNAV Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Raven came out of surgery just fine. Apparently she fought the anesthesia and had a hard time going to sleep, but she woke up like a champ. She lost seven teeth (!) and a good chunk out of her chest. We'll have the pathology results on her hematoma in about a week. They applied a sealant called Orajel in hopes of keeping her teeth in good shape, which along with CET chews and brushing with Denta Treat may do the trick. She is still loopy from the drugs and very sore. She's drooling blood and curled up on her bed, stoned out of her gourd. When she is a bit more aware, she will get her guilt presents--a very soft sheep pillow/toy to rest that sore head on and some squishy treats. Glad to hear she is doing good. Didn't they give her a little something to relax her before the anesthesia? That would've helped her not fight so hard. I didn't know that they had sealants for dogs. Thanks for that bit of info. I'll check into it on Navi's next visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orajel sealant is applied during the dental. After that you maintain at home with weekly applications rubbed onto the teeth, IIRC. She'll get her first at-home treatment in a couple of weeks.

GreytNut Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 She's feeling quite a bit better. Still not herself yet, but she's stopped drooling and is bright-eyed. She doesn't want to budge from her bed, but if I bring her meals she eats them with gusto, and she has fun snuggling with/nudging around her stuffed sheep. She'll get up if something really interesting is going on and she just has to be part of it. She was licking at her incision so I had to put her lightweight jammies on to keep her from it. And... she learned how to destuff her bandage. It looked like a blizzard in here this morning.

GreytNut Posted August 9, 2008 Author Share Posted August 9, 2008 Raven's pathology report came back negative for cancer. They got all of the mass and it is unlikely to return. Woo hoo! Her incision healed up very well--no thanks to her. Raven was intent on destroying her bandage and yanking her stitches out, so I resorted to keeping her dressed in jammies for two weeks until it was no longer itchy/tempting for her. She thought I really sucked for keeping her in jammies in the summertime, but it paid off. She has a nice clean, smooth, barely-noticeable scar with no infection and her hair is growing back in. Her mouth is STILL sore. She winces when I try to look at it and I don't dare give her any chewies. The vet said it'll probably be sore for another two weeks. She had a canine pulled which had about the longest root he'd ever seen. It left a hole so big it had to be stitched. Thus, no need to panic that she hasn't fully healed there yet. No sign of infection, which is great.

Remolacha Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 great pathology report Sugar had to have both her lower canines removed, and yes, it took quite a while to completely heal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest greyhoundluv Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 OMG! so much for a lady to deal with. I am so happy it isnt the big c. She sure sounds like a trooper Hugs for Raven... Savannah lost 24 teeth recently, there was a bit of bloody drool for the first night and by the next day she was back to her goofy self. Wow! All 24 at once! How many teeth does a greyhound have?? Champ goes in on Wednesday for a dental, he has lost 14 teeth during previous dentals and I know he will end up loosing more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
