jenn8 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Oh joy, it looks like Bug had 6 extractions today, I can't wait to see the bill. I haven't experienced this with a dog before. Is Bug going to be in terrible pain and doing weird things with his mouth or anything else I should know about or have on hand? Jenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest budsmom Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Bud had 3 about 6 weeks ago, and he didn't do anything weird. He came home with 3 days of pain meds & 2 weeks of antibiotics. He had to have soft food for about 7 days, too. I just soaked his regular kibble before giving it to him, he never chews his food anyway. The worst part of it for him seemed to be the anethesia. The procedure took over 2 hours, and he was really dopey the entire next day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryJane Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 You might want to get Amicar - talk to your vet about it. It helps any bleeding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartdogs Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Noelle lost all BUT 6 teeth and eats just fine. Noe you will get funny ETS even when Bug isn't asleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiveRoooooers Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Zeke-aroni was nine when he came here and had his first dental in seven years, sigh. His teeth were awful. He lost his upper canine and 10 additional teeth. Other than some oozing the first night, he never skipped a beat. I hope Bug (and you!) had a quiet night and that he is good this morning!

EllenEveBaz Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 And once the gums are healed, a little ice cream. Or frozen yogurt. Bug's choice.

Guest greytkidsmom Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 We use a small breed kibble mixed with a lot of water for a few days. The kibbles are tiny and with water they make a slurry that can be lapped up easily. It is cheaper than canned food. Canned food also causes us pudding poos.

Guest Snazzy_Chloe Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Make sure that the dog's gums are not bleeding when you pick her up. We had an issue where they sutured as tight as they thought they could without ripping the gum tissue but it was not tight enough to stop the bleeding. We had to return the dog and resuture after packing the gums. Dog was fine after - soft food, scrambled eggs, Ensure, and chicken broth for a couple days then progressed to moistened kibble+canned dog food. They heal fast after you get their leaks patched correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenn8 Posted May 13, 2012 Author Share Posted May 13, 2012 Awww, poor Bug! How's he doing? I miss that silly face of his He's doing fine now. His mouth was a little bloody the first night and he was really out of it but back to his gooofy self the very next day. He misses you too (actually Holly, but you usually came along).
