NeylasMom Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 (edited) She's awake! Still very sedated, but out of anesthesia and no longer intubated. They said she's not anxious at all, but if she becomes stressed they will discharge her to me sooner. Otherwise, about an hour and a half. I won't feel completely relieved until that happens because the issues didn't show up last time until they got her up, but things have gone much more smoothly this time and they have seen some yellow urine. So that we're out of here without issue by early afternoon.

cometdust1 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 So x-rays aren't showing any infection and he doesn't think any of her teeth need to come out! I'm a little incredulous because she's been pawing at her face, but she has these holes in her teeth and apparently there was a lot of gunk packed in there. So they want me to get a brushing tool to get in there and keep that clean. So he's finishing up her cleaning and then they'll wake her up. Hopefully the next update is she's awake and has yellow pee! Ask your vet for a 10cc syringe. Fill it with lukewarm water and use it to flush out the gaps and holes in the teeth. I do this every day after brushing my boys teeth to dislodge stuck-in food.I have to fill it twice. I fill a glass up with the water and draw it up with the syringe. I take the syringe apart and rinse it thoroughly and let it air dry when done. Hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeylasMom Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 (edited) We are headed home! Actually, we headed home and about 15 min in I realized I set a bag of Violet's stuff done to get her in the car and then drove away without it If something had to go wrong I'll happily have that be it. She is incontinent at the moment, but hopefully that's just because she's happily doped up. She's definitely still out of it, but pretty mobile and did also mark when she saw a dog outside. I had to keep reminding myself when they were giving us our instructions that she didn't have teeth removed. I asked about pain meds and then realized she wouldn't need them. They had thought theyd need to remove at least a few so I am kind of in shock. Added bonus, our estimate was $1900-2800, but our bill was only $1200. Thanks for the support today, love my fellow GTers.

NeylasMom Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 We're home! We walked around the block to try to get her to empty out a bit more. She's tired, but doing well. Going to let her snooze for a bit and then feed her a snack.

NeylasMom Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 She looks like she's still out of it. So glad everything went great. It's about time something did.Way out of it, as in a space cadet but actually walking around surprisingly well. She is a little wobbly occasionally and just missed the first step with her back foot, but then she did all of our stairs without issue (I had a hold of the harness just in case). I'm pleasantly surprised by how well she's getting around.

3greytjoys Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Fantastic news! So glad Violet's procedure and recovery went smoothly. Great relief! Ask your vet for a 10cc syringe. Fill it with lukewarm water and use it to flush out the gaps and holes in the teeth. I do this every day after brushing my boys teeth to dislodge stuck-in food.I have to fill it twice. I fill a glass up with the water and draw it up with the syringe. I take the syringe apart and rinse it thoroughly and let it air dry when done. Hope this helps! The syringe is a great suggestion. I've used C.E.T. Oral Rinse's bent stem applicator with it's clean empty bottle for fresh water rinsing. (I switched back to Oratene products by Pet King.) Just thinking a (human) Waterpik device could work really well if hound was positively conditioned to the sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thinking a (human) Waterpik device could work really well if hound was positively conditioned to the sound. She mentioned a client who used a Waterpik on her dog's teeth. I asked and they want me to use a brush in these holes so that we're actually removing the bacteria. I just have to find the right brush. I need something that will fit in the hole and has soft bristles.

3greytjoys Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 (edited) Hum, my BraUn rechargable toothbrush set has a perfect little tip brush that gets between tooth crevices. https://oralb.com/en-us/products/power-tip-replacement-brush-heads Perhaps they are made for manual toothbrushes too. A hummingbird cleaner brush might work too, but might not be soft enough on the very tip, and it's handle length is short.

NeylasMom Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 Thanks for those suggestions. Last update. She ravenously devoured the little bit of canned food I gave her and then we took a good long nap with me spooning her. When we woke up she was hamming it up to get me to pet her. Took a good potty walk. No accidents during our nap and she went several times on our walk, glorious golden yellow pee. She just had a small meal of ground chicken, rolled around on the mattress scratching her back and is back to dozing. She's definitely still a little dopey, but walking normally (if slowly) and otherwise doing great. I'm amazed. And relieved. I caught the tail end of her silliness. Goof Thanks again for the good wishes today. Things really couldn't have gone more smoothly. I'm so grateful.
