Kayleigh update...with pics

Kayleigh's dental surgery went fine yesterday. They pulled out a massive molar. She actually needed stitches in her gums once it was out. Those will fall out on their own, thank goodness! There is no safe way to put your hand in Kayleigh's mouth! She has to eat soft food and take antibiotics for five more days. She's loving the special meals. Her bloodwork was perfectly normal too! The vet says the rest of her teeth aren't in great shape, but he doesn't see anything else problematic. Kayleigh is a chewer and I imagine when she was starving she probably chewed on all sorts of things that damaged her teeth.
A couple of pics from Sunday. The antibiotics were making her feel much better.

I almost felt bad about taking her in. She was so happy on Sunday, but the tooth had to go. It would have just caused her more problems and pain once the antibiotics ran out.

Feel better sweetheart :) We know you're glad to get that bad ole tooth out :) Take advantage of the special cuisine doll face. Like all of your dogs Glacier, she is gorgeous!

Glad to hear Kayleigh did great... pretty girl, you deserve to be the center of attention - enjoy all the goodies and extra loving!
Glacier, Right after reading your original thread, I took Star in to the vets for a shot & he told me she has a broken tooth and to watch for signs of infection. I immediately thought about Kayleigh!

Glad to hear all went well. Feel better Kayleigh. :D

Feel better, pretty girl!

;) So glad all went well Kayleigh & hope you feel better soon..

Aww poor baby girl! Glad to hear she is on the mend though. Good job Kayleigh!

Ok Kayleigh, I'm so glad the dental surgery went well. Take it easy on the chompers go forward sweetie, last I heard they don't make dentures for puppies yet. Feel much better soon!!

That's never fun, but I'm really glad to hear that she's feeling better! She looks so happy in the second picture - I love doggie smiles :D

Oh Kayleigh, sweetie, I hope you are feeling better soon.
