FiveRoooooers Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 (edited) Punkin is having her dental tomorrow and whilst there is always a worry, this time we will be with our New Veterinarian. Our former vet whom we lovelovelove sold her practice and went corporate. We followed her for a few visits but to say that corporate veterinary is cold and sterile is the understatement of the year. It broke both our hearts to end that almost 30 year relationship, but that's what happened. She gave us a good blessing for the vet who will do Punkin's dental, and both girls have seen him so far for vax and "Hi I'm Punkin" and "Hi, I'm Annie Oooh M, aka Annie I'm Embarrassing" (but that's for another forum ). New doc is grey-savvy and his office staff seems on the ball as well, and the girls have been comfortable going there. Ennyhoo, Punkin is probably going to lose most of what teeth she has left, and I have told her repeatedly how Trevor Double-Heart managed just fine with only five toofers after losing all the others just before he became a camper. If you can spare some good thoughts we would greatly appreciate them. Edited November 10, 2021 by FiveRoooooers Quote Old Dogs are the Best Dogs. Thank you, campers. Current enrollees: Punkin.

Time4ANap Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Just now catching up and seeing htis. All paws, fingers and toes crossed here at Camp Broodie for Punkin. Punkin, if Dr. Rocket were still here, he would remind you that lots of ice cream is called for afterward. (Well, at least a little ice cream but lots of other good stuff like yogurt, cottage cheese, scrambled eggs and stinky canned food.) Quote Camp Broodie.

RaineysMom Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 sending TONS of hugs, good thoughts and prayers for Punkin.

FiveRoooooers Posted November 11, 2021 Author Share Posted November 11, 2021 All your good vibes have done their work and Punkin is coming home in another couple of hours. She had previously lost 12 toofers, today it was 8. She did well under anesthesia and the staff are giving her extra TLC I can't wait to get her home and start spoiling her. Punkin and Annie have never been apart. Annie came with this morning and when we left without Punk her face was priceless and clearly saying MOM Why.Is.She.Staying.Arent.We.Forgetting.Someone? Later, when I went out to the mailbox I watched her on the camper cam. She was Very Curious and on alert but not panicked. She's a funny girl. Ducky Thanks everyone. Quote Old Dogs are the Best Dogs.

KF_in_Georgia Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Best thing a vet once told me: If there are potentially complicated cases, they get done first. The no-problem cases get shifted to late in the day. This was his message when I dropped off two dogs at 6am and didn't have any word from him by 3:30. Both dogs were fine. When I picked them up, the girl was still so looped that I had to carry her to the car. She wouldn't step over the threshold from one kind of floor to another because her depth perception was screwed.
