Mummy spotted some shaky teeth and decided to bring me to the vet for a check. Vet proposed dental scaling to be done with GA and said that I had gingivitis. Fortunately, Gingivitis can be cured. While at the vet, I got a vaccination jab too. I felt so lethargic that whole night.
So I went for my dental scaling on 21 June 2010, Monday. Mummy was quite scared that I would not be able to wake up and did not sleep well the previous night. I also had to fast from 10pm that night. Poor me, no food and drink. I was brought to the vet at about 9.30am and the vet called Mummy at about 2pm to tell her that I was up and well. Mummy came to bring me home at about 4pm. I lost a upper few teeth, about 4. Anyway they were quite hard for Mummy to brush. It costed Mummy about $260, some guilt feelings in Mummy and almost my life. Hey, I risked it to undergo GA. Luckily, I am only 4 years old.
I am officially an old lady without teeth and I have some stitches on my gum. I hope they will come off real soon. I also have some medicine. I think they are antibiotics for a course of 5 days.
Vet suggested a baby toothbrush, dog toothpaste, greenies, raw hide and brush daily. Meaning that I will get chewable treats more often =) I also love toothpaste by the way. Just that I detest brushing.
Mummy also promised to brush my teeth daily so that I would not have to undergo dental scaling or tooth extraction in my entire life again.
