nyGreys Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 (edited) Abby has her teeth cleaned about every 3 -4 months. She's 11 & I worry so much. Her gums get so red & sore. I hate having to put her through this so often, but what else can I do? If you could say a prayer for her, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks We love her to pieces.

Batmom Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Hey, Dee, after this cleaning, might ask your vet and vet tech about bringing her in once a month for light scaling/polishing while she's awake. Won't totally eliminate the problem but might prolong times between "serious" cleanings; removing any plaque deposited at the gumline helps keep more from building up there and causing soreness. We've done this for Zema. Funny thing is, Zema who is terrified of the vet will hold perfectly still for @ 20 minutes and let the tech get under the gumline etc., whereas Joseph who is delighted to see the vet will not hold still for love nor money nor food . Sending lots of prayers for tomorrow!

Guest eaglflyt Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 (edited) Have you tried Petzlife Oral Care Gel or Spray? We brush our girl's teeth with the gel and it does an absolutely amazing job of both removing and preventing tartar buildup and keeping her mouth healthy. We brush, but you can also just wipe it on her teeth, or just put it in her mouth, or even use the spray on type. It really does work! Also, we have used CET Hextra Chews which seem to have been beneficial, too. We'll be keeping your girl in our prayers and thoughts. Good Luck.
