Hi! My Sugar was wheezing, more and more over a week or so. Long story short, one of her canine teeth (a "fang") was infected and decaying from the root. As it was an upper tooth, the infection was going into her sinus cavity. We had the tooh removed, and now she is recovering.

It took time and a few visits to figure out what was wrong. Dogs can't tell us, "My tooth hurts," or "It hurts when I swallow," so there is something of a guessing game to eliminate causes and find out which one is the REAL issue.

This is the MOST expensive tooth removal, I have seen, lol over $900. That is because we had to have x rays of the chest and head / sinus cavity, and several other things trying to figure out what the heck was going on. The first time I took her in, we tried a course of antibiotics, hoping it was a sinus infection which would clear up. It didn't. So after that 10 days, back we went and started the next round of tests. It is frustrating, and expensive, but all part of having a pet.

Best wishes with your pet. Let us know how things develop!
