Sorry, that should be “ posts ABOVE “
Doggie-pingers, see #38
I am surprised and pleased with your good news about the grey gums.
All the best to you and yours going forward!
In my whole life, I’ve never had a dog that has done that before; wearing teeth down.
My husband always is saying that everytime one of the girls ( I have two labs , both females ) sneezes, I rush it to the vet.
He is wayyyyyyyyyy exaggerating but I’d not ever seen this before and I’m not sure of the logic behind the discoloration by shifting teeth. Bruising perhaps ??
I immediately thought decayed teeth, infection, abcess of some sort, horrible dental bills, her being in pain, bacteria causing havoc with her system and organs ,,,, the list goes on , because of the rotten look of that color. It just looked like decay.
AND she is an occasional POOP EATER ( GROSS GAG PUKE )
The bill ? 30 bucks.
The result.......PRICELESS..........
Prayers up for your kitteh ~ I’m so very sorry. I pray that your kitteh is restored to perfect health in the blink of an eye.
Thanks.
Did your vet say anything about trying to keep the teeth from being ground down further?
No, she didn’t because they’re to the gum line. They cant get worn down further unless it’d be her canines and those are fine.
