Now they want to take out a toof!!

caseysmom, Bobby had something 'for older dogs' when he had the surgery for lump removal last month and I believe they will be doing the same for the dental. Doesn't stop you worrying though does it? There again, what could.

Sara, hope your dentist visit went ok.

Bobby goes for his dental on Friday the 15th, a week today.

Chris, it's not always good to have so much time to worry, but if Bob gets the same anasthesia as last time, I'm sure it'll be OK.

You know, I was quite worried last time Fister had a dental and I didn't know until then that there different kinds of anasthesia, my vet told me they have three kinds. I suppose they give cats and dogs the same, and meassure it accordng to weight? Would you mind asking what the one Bob gets is called?

And, does anyone here know what the difference is in the various anasthesia?

Will keep Bob in my thoughts and send positive vibes.

[ChrisH]

Thanks, Randi.

I think they do give the dosage according to weight because I remember he had to be weighed before he went last time and the vet told me it was needed to know for giving drugs and anaesthesia.
(btw Bob is now weighs in at 24.5kg so I can no longer call him Fat Boy Bob. )

I'll try to remember to ask for details of the anaesthesia given come Friday.

[ChrisH]

Well, today's the day. Will you please send some prayers, vibes or whatever that all goes well for my boy?

Good luck Bob sweetie!
Lots of vibes, hugs, and maybe a new manicure?, for your mum!

[ChrisH]

Thanks Karen.

Oh Bob! You melt my heart with those eyes. Sorry about the toof.

Bob, our sweet, hunky boy...I'll bet when you wake up tomorrow, you'll be fine and not be mad at mommy anymore. Plus, I'll bet food will taste so much better with clean teethies!! Sorry you have a boo-boo ear. Please let mom put the drops in, 'cause you'll feel so much better, darlin'. Mz Logan send her love, and me too!

[ChrisH]

Thanks everyone!

He's nearly back to normal this morning, not as lively, a bit slower on his walk but doesn't seem to hate me any more.



He needed coaxing, and treats, to be able to administer the ear drops, but then he always does so nothing new there.

btw I forgot to add that he also has gingervitus in his gums but he has medication, capsules, - which he takes with no problem - and so, hopefully, will show improvement at his check-up on Friday.
