Burpdog Posted September 14, 2013 Author Share Posted September 14, 2013 He still is not 100%. As the vet said yesterday: those canines are really up in there. I called the vet because the swelling on his cute nose was pretty severe. Looks a little better this morning. Still some leaking after he eats. He did get on the bed yesterday (he won't get up if he doesn't feel good or needs an adjustment really bad) and last night he roached for a little bit. Getting his pills in him in the morning is awful He won't eat them and he has to have at least the antiobiotcs <sigh> But now I'm wondering if these dental procedures should be done once or twice a year to prevent such a serious issue again. I hate the thought of her undergoing anesthesia so often but I was really shocked by the 11 extractions. I feel like i've failed her. Live & learn! In addition to losing teeth, they can develope a cardiac issue from bad teeth (just like people) Some greys need dentals once or twice (I've only had one that had to do every 6 months) a year and some every other year, etc. SieSie had a good mouth and I was able to scale her teeth and she never had a dental once she came to me. Keep in mind, that is one greyhound out of around 30. Most of them have mouths you can't scale even if you know how to (I scaled my Dobes and I didn't know what a dental was until I had greys). I put off Huston's dental and think about how bad I feel! His mouth didn't look that bad to me. Which just proves it's best to ask the vet (I happen to have one I trust).

Guest goofydog Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Hoping Huston continues to improve today. And no Diane, you aren't a bad mama. I can't think of any better! Hugs to both you and Mr. Personality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest greytkidsmom Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Hope Huston is feeling better today. Been there, done that. Dentals every 6 months then both lower canines out at the same time. He recovered more slowly than with his multitudes of prior extractions. He did get a dry socket in one so if you get that feeling that something just isn't going right with Huston make sure your vet takes a look at him. Hugs to you both.

Burpdog Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 Huston is not perfect anymore I am mad at him: could not get his mouth open to shove down pills. I was using not so nice language He is mad at me: how dare I try & open his mouth and he screamed in protest I guess I'm not perfect to him anymore Quote Diane & The Senior Gang Burpdog Biscuits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quarrystepper Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Sorry this has been such an ordeal! Brooks came to us with all his front teeth (including top and bottom canines) worn down to a brownish-reddish nub. It's actually hard to tell whether they're still even there, or were removed... no one in our adoption group could find actual records from the track. His only teeth that are remotely intact are the ones you can see in the way back when he smiles. He's still a happy pup but I worry what's left will eventually get worse and lead to issues. Quote Drew and occasionally DW Melody, with Rosie (AMF Ready Made) and Marvin (Bella Riddick) in Louisville. Forever missing Brooks (KC Bastone) and Kali (Swish).

Guest jetska Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 bender had to lose a premolar as he had broken it on a bone and as a result got an abscess - he recovered within a week... the vet was a bit disappointed it had to come out as she reckoned he has great teeth otherwise, so I guess he will get to keep his teeth! Barbie has had 7 out, the little ones at the bottom front were so tiny I think they hardly counted though! I have been more religious about giving chewy dental treaties and her teeth have stayed much cleaner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
