gryhndsr4us Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 (edited) We are going back to the vet this morning. Looks like the same issue we had 2 years ago when they pulled his other upper canine. The gums have pulled apart and are not healing. Poor baby is not going to be very happy to go back today. Please keep him in your thoughts today.

Guest KennelMom Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Sometimes the hole never heals when they pull a top canine. When Erin had hers pulled before we adopted her, she came to us with the stitches still in. It never healed, so they tried one more time to close it and it still didn't heal. She lived that way for nearly 3 years with no problems. We just checked it to make sure no kibble lodged in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gryhndsr4us Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 Poor boy, he's home and miserable, and we have lots of meds for him. I stopped at McDonalds on the way to pick him up so I have hamburgers for his breakfast. Part of his problem is the gums were so bad there isn't much healthy gum left to stitch. Also the bone in the front of his mouth has deteriorated so badly the hole goes up into his nasal cavity.

Burpdog Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 That's what happened to Slick. It took months to heal and there was still a small hole. Quote Diane & The Senior Gang Burpdog Biscuits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gryhndsr4us Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 He is feeling better this morning. He ate his breakfast and even barked at the trash man! The swelling is almost gone. Now we just wait to see if the stitches hold and the gums heal. I did vet wrap the dew claw on that side as he was rubbing at his face. I don't know if he could have ripped out the stitches before but don't want to take a chance.
