Dentals….
-
Maggii, who is 16 and 4 months, had a dental yesterday. It was a tough decision to do it or not as she has been in kidney failure for the last 18 months. She however has kept the same values in her blood work for almost the last 12 months, so she is not at least getting any worse… Anyway, I knew she was in pain and that her teeth were really bothering her... so her Vet and I decided it was worth the risk (the risk being that putting her under could result in shutting down her kidneys totally) and try and make her comfortable... Some of the teeth problems are due to her kidney problems and the rest to old age..
Three teeth fell out, three more where pulled... .. but she seemed to do well... considering. Last night she did well (must have been the pain meds..:) ) as she drank and ate a little food and slept pretty peaceful. This morning... Oh MY.... her poor little face is so swollen... think I will have to call her a Bull Terrier...:( , but she ate well today, took her meds, drank water and had her SubQ fluids... time will tell if there is any further damage to her kidneys... so far, however so good....
Here is what she looked like this morning... the swelling is somewhat better this evening...
