Sadie did well with her dental yesterday. She lost three of her molars toward the back, one on one side and two on the other. The one that I was sure she would lose, they were able to save for now. There was some gum loss on that tooth, but the vet x-rayed it and said the tooth and bone were actually in good shape. She did a gum graft to try to save the tooth since it otherwise was in good shape. They also did grafting over the empty spots where they removed the other teeth. I thought that was pretty interesting. I had a before and after picture of her teeth during surgery, but it won't upload to the blog.
I'm so very glad that Sadie did well, that they saved one tooth, and that Mom survived! It's really tough, I know!
ReplyDeleteOuch for Sadie, but I am so happy she did so well prayers answered.

Glad she's doing well!
ReplyDeleteIt's always such a relief to get them home after a dental! I know that the chances are that they'll be fine, but you always hear the odd story. I'm glad Sadie is home safe and sound! :)
ReplyDeleteWe're glad she made it home with on a few lost teeth! And we're sure you are very glad it's all over.
ReplyDeleteGetting them back from a dental is the best feeling. Stanley had his a couple of weeks ago, and Jenny had one just yesterday. We are always on edge until they call and say that they have woken up and are ok.
ReplyDeleteEvery single time I look at her paw in your hand, I get teary, Michelle!
ReplyDeleteI am glad you enjoyed the dinner. It was so much fun. This Sunday seems dull by comparison.
