Now they want to take out a toof!!

Dear Bob, dental work is no fun, but after it's done you'll feel so much better having shiny clean teeth. However, I understand if mum is worried.

When you are back home and have rested, remind your mum that you deserve some yummy treats.

Sending our best wishes that all goes well!

Fister and Randi

Don't worry about the dental work Bob. Buddy just had his dental work yesterday. He had 2 teeth removed! Buddy is a cat so I am sure you being a big tough doggie can handle it. Buddy gets to eat special canned food for a few days. Maybe your mom will give you some special goodies too. You do have a sweet and sad face. You'll be back to wagging your tail in no time.

Don't feel bad Bob, they did that to Bubba last week...it wasn't too bad he never seemed to notice.

Thanks guys, from both Bobby and I, for the encouraging words.

Good health report or no, he is nearly 11 years old and I have to admit I am a bit worried about him having anaesthesia again. But I think I am going to have to let it be done. He's not in pain from the tooth right now, nor are his gums sore as yet, but it's in inevitable that there is pain and or soreness in store for him in the future if he doesn't get treatment.

Bobby and I will keep you updated.

When casey and bubba went in for their dental last week I mentioned that casey is very sensitive to the anasthesia.

They said they would give her the anasthesia for older dogs, she did really well and was not nearly as out of it and she had been on previous occasions. She will be 9 this month.

My darling, darling sad eyed Bobby Boy I have to go to the dentist tomorrow too. I'll be brave...just as I know you will!

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.
