We’ve done a brand new page on natural pet remedies, you’ll find it in the list under “pages” in the right column.
I have some allergies from the tree pollen, and the fleas and ticks are all over, so thought it would be good to share an article like this. Hope you like it!
What a long day it’s been. It started at about 7 am this morning, my owner is never up very early, but today she was! She came and put my harness on me and I thought we were on our way to a fun adventure, but it didn’t take long for me to figure out the route we were driving was to the vet.
When I got there, a lady talked to my owner about my teeth, she told her that some of my teeth had already fallen out. My owner felt bad, and said that she had dogs when she was young and they never had their teeth cleaned, I guess they were pretty big dogs.
I don’t remember a lot after that, I was in a cage, and sleepy, then woke up feeling drugged…when it was time to go home, the technician talked to my owner again, and showed her how many teeth had already fallen out, and how many were pulled. She’s too embarrassed to type how many.
I’ve been whining ever since I got home…heard the owner call the vet to see if it was pain…guess they decided it isn’t, I just really feel weird. Now it’s late, and I’ve quieted down, ate some soft food for dinner, drank a lot of water, and even got my usual treat, but they made it soft. I think I’m going to have to eat soft food from how on.
If you’re a little dog, make sure you keep up with your dentals, and clean your dogs teeth.
Tomorrow is the day that I get my teeth cleaned. I had a nice bath, my hair trimmed, and am a big ball of fluff now because I haven’t been groomed in a while. My owner likes my hair to be long to keep me warm in the winter.
I overheard a phone call from the vet, and I think that my food dish and water dish will disappear at midnight tonight, since they will be putting me to sleep for the cleaning…hmm, maybe a better way of saying that since I’m a dog is that they will be anesthetizing me.
I’m so not looking forward to this…will let you know how it goes tomorrow.
My owner took me to the vet last week to get my annual checkup and a test for heartworm, why they do that all the time I don’t know, I take my heartworm pill regularly, but I guess the vet makes a few extra dollars that way.
While we were there, my owner asked about my teeth, and the vet said that yes, indeed, they do need cleaning. I’ve been trying to let my owner know they were bothering me sometimes, by licking my lips (I don’t think we really have lips, but this way you humans will understand). But I didn’t realize that I was going to have to be asleep, have my teeth scraped and maybe some pulled…ugh, I’ll keep you posted on how things go.
