So the vet thinks that lmp is from a tooth ache? Ouch poor sweetie! Hope the antibiotics help calm it down. Best wishes with the xray. If it IS a tooth, can they also do the extraction while she is under anesthesia for the xray? I try to cut down on the number of times they have to go under, just a thought!

[husky 1]

yes, if it is an infected tooth root they will extract it then , straight after x ray .

When I saw the picture, I thought it might have something to do with a tooth. Hope she's feeling better soon!

I am so glad that it is just a tooth. I hope she feels better soon. :) :)

well ice lost 1 back tooth & 2 front teeth , back tooth was an infected root , teeth cleaned too , but weren't too bad , she still has the lump on her face though .To go back for a check on friday , kavik will be castrated on friday also , poor boy :( ;)

Wow I've never seen an infection like that!! Ah well, what's a few loss teeth? Giselle's probably going to lose two molars in a year or so. Once periondontitis starts, it never really ends *sigh*

Also, what happened with Kavik?? I thought you were going to show/breed him!

[husky 1]

Giselle kavik still has a retained testicle so decided to get him neutered as 1 yr old now

I hope that Ice is feeling better soon, and that Kavik will recover quickly from his snip. It's no fun having dogs that don't feel well during the holidays.

[loveallfurryfriends]

I am happy that Ice just had to lose a few teeth, and I hope that she is feeling all better for the holidays. Kavik, I hope that everything goes well during your surgery & you will be as good as new!

[husky 1]

[husky 1]
