[QUOTE="Shari, post: 240408, member: 1848"] No pain medications, just antibiotics. And she wolfed down a can and a half (big cans) of dog food when she got home today. (I wasn't going to let her eat that much but she kept ripping into the bag of dry food!) WMW, I've never had a dog with teeth issues, either. Had an old dog once, he was about 14, and had a tooth abcess and had to pull it, but that is my one isolated tooth incident ever. This poor dog came as a rescue 2 years ago. The rescue group said she was around 5. My vet thought she was more like 7 or 8. The rescue group had taken most of her lower teeth before I got her. Our vet is now recommending having her teeth cleaned at least once a year (cause she doesn't have many left) and some kind of tartar treats that she can chew and will chemically help break down the tartar. She'd had no change in appetite, but after he asked me about it, I paid more attention and discovered she was just swallowing her food whole without even attempting to chew it! (survival doggie, here...I never knew her teeth hurt! Thank goodness for roadkill breath). My vet just used gas to calm her for the cleaning, and it really wasn't very expensive (I was shocked). Glad she's home. We now have a geriatric horse and a middle-aged dog who need regular dental appointments. LOL [/QUOTE]
