MP_the4pack Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I tried as hard has possible not to have to get a dental for Onyx. But, her teeth were really too bad to keep them clean. So, she's having a dental. Onyx is 15! I chose to take her to the dentist instead of her regular GP because this dentist has a high success rate. She did Pearl twice, and Pearl was considered ultra high risk because of hypertension and heart disease. I'm almost sure, Onyx is going to lose all four canines. And maybe what's left of her other teeth. Oh, she's going to be so sore. I really don't want to do this to her, but I think her mouth is bothering her. She's being done on the 14th, one year to the day that Pearl had her splenectomy. Pearl passed 3 weeks later. It's also the same anniversary has Beth's Smiley, who survived only 3 days. So I'm asking for lots of white light, prayers and crossed paws from GT that Onyx makes it thru the dental, the recovery, and feels a whole lot better sooner than later. By the way, for anyone who complains about the price of a dental? This is going to set me back about $3000. That's the price I pay for giving Onyx the best chance of a good result. (and for anyone who reads Off Topic, you know my 4Runner just died too. When it rains it pours) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MP_the4pack Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 Pearl's cardiologist in Langhorne, Pa recommended only two dentist for Pearl, my uber high risk girl. One was 2+ hrs away in Pa somewhere, the other was Dr. Fiorito of Brick Town Vets. She's fantastic. She's the only one I would trust Onyx to right now.

MP_the4pack Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 Tomorrow's the day. I just got the results back from her pre-dental (senior) blood panel and the vet said she looks very good. All organs are working fine (if I weren't so worried about her dental tomorrow, I'd be jumping up and down that a 15 yr has such a healthy body).
