Guest crazy4greys Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 (edited) Skylar went in today for her last dental. The vet removed her remaining teeth, 3 canines, all the upper & lower front teeth and 1 molar. She just turned 7 on June 22nd. She is staying over night as she is still bleeding a bit. She will come home tomorrow. Edited August 15, 2008 by crazy4greys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest crazy4greys Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Oh!! Poor sweetie. Big, big hugs. Was this the expected outcome? She was in for a visit last week and one of her canines started to bleed when the vet looked in her mouth and touched it. He suggested that she should have it taken out. I asked him to just pull them all. She was just in for a dental less than a year ago, I believe. She has periodontal disease, so they were all bound to come out sooner or later. I didn't want to have to keep putting her under the anesthesia for 1 or 2 teeth to be taken out every 8 months or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest greydogluvr Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I am looking down a similar road for my Simone. She has has 3 dentals in less that 2 yrs, the last prompted by an infection in her gums. She has lost several and has a couple more with roots showing. I guess some grey's teeth are worse than others. Gentle scritches to your girl and prayers for quick healing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skylar had an infection too, but on the inside of her upper lip where it touched the gum line that was also infected. That was last dental. Of my 6 greys, Skylar has had the worst teeth.

maximum Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Awww, poor sweet girl. Max sends his sympathies, as he will be having the same thing done in a year or so. He is down to 13 teeth, in spite of having annual dentals and daily brushing, so the vet and I figure that they might as well come out, and not put him through any more anaesthetics (he is 10 and 1/2). I'm sure she is going to do just fine - give her some nice frozen yogourt from us... Quote My boys, together again...

queenwinniesmom Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Ah, Skylar. Seven is young to have such bad teeth, isn't it? I guess the poor girl came up short in the healthy toofer gene pool. But when you weigh the pros and cons, better to have a nice, clean, toothless mouth than an icky one that's going to give her constant problems, now and down the road. Who was saying their hound had all their teeth pulled, and had Gums of Steel? I think they do pretty good, considering.

Guest crazy4greys Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I just got her home. Her mouth is a lttle swollen where her canines were. I stopped to get her some canned food to go along with her soaked dry food. She is hiding in a crate and sleeping. Thanks for all the good wishes. Oh, she had a blood test to see if she has Von Willebrands Disease as she was bleeding a lot and it was hard to get it to clot which is why she stayed overnight. The results will be back in about a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyGreys Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 (edited) Awww, Glad she's home. Poor sweetie. Abby has really bad teeth also.

Guest paulamariez Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Poor Skylar sweetie! I will keep her tender heart in my prayers for a quick and painless recuperation! From what I've read, many of the hounds do much better without those bad old tooties! Tiger, Bueller and Domino are sending Skylar some get well doggie kisses. Extra ones from Bueller, 'cuz he says, he's been there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Luvgreys Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Poor Skylar, hope she feels better soon!! I think you definitely did the right thing, she will feel so much better without those teeth once she is all healed up. Now you just have to buy moisturizer for her tongue Poor Skylar, hope she feels better soon!!
