Nova's teeth with tartar build up. Yuk, glad it is all gone...Well this morning I was leaving Toby at the vets as he was getting desexed, micro chipped and vaccinated. That was all well and good.
Bailey and Nova had their check up and yearly injection when I find out that Nova has been blind in her left eye for quite a while. She can see a bit of light but certainly no images at all. The right eye is fine. We would never have known as she has not been bumping into anything at all...
Gets better... She has an ear infection that needs drugs... I regularly flush out her ears with special stuff from the vet as she has ear canals that are shaped the wrong way... Drops twice a day for the next two weeks...
Then I find out that Nova needed five or six teeth removed. They were completely rotten and her gums where inflamed... I knew she had awful breath, had brushed her teeth and given her bones but nothing changed the smell. I feel terrible for not even thinking of looking under the floppy gums to see if something might have been wrong with her teeth. So needless to say she stayed the day at the vets as well and six teeth were removed. The rest are all sparkly now as they had a clean and polish. So from now on she has to eat soft food.
In about two weeks she can go back on having bones as well. Her gums will harden up with time and she will be allot better now in the breath smelling department which will be a very, very good thing. She was such a good little doggy. :) She is now home sleeping off the drugs and has plenty of pain relief in her as well.
Toby is very sore and tender in that region. He doesn't like to sit much so is mostly sleeping on my bed or on the couch. Poor darling... He will be right in a day or two and gets his stitches out in two weeks.
So tonight we have a very quiet home here. Bailey doesn't know what to do as he is fine and only had his yearly C5 shot. He is wanting to play and no one else is playing with him. He will have to be patient just a couple more days...
Cheers Damaris
