Jay Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 You can always give her some asprin (Not Tylenol) but buffered asprin to help with pain. I'm surprised they didn't give u any pain meds Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chula Posted March 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Oh they did. They gave me rimadyl. She gets half a 75 mg tablet twice a day. I still have tramadol left over from her tummy surgery if it got really bad. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakeo Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 To ease your concern: I have witnessed a dog lose 29 teeth after one dental and the next day he was back to eating normally. (With pain meds, but yeah...) In 99% of the dentals I've done/seen, the dogs adapt amazingly well and have no trouble by the next day. The ones who have trouble usually had an awful infection beforehand and take time to get rid of it. If she lost this tooth it won't impact her very much - she will be less bothered by no tooth than by a broken tooth. If the tooth is in danger of breaking again after going through all of the (very expensive) trouble to fix it instead of removing it, then I personally wouldn't put much thought into it. I hope everything goes well for her! And be safe in all the snow D: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osinn11 Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Cj also broke a tooth shortly after she came home to us. So far she hasn't had any issues. Hope everything goes smooth for Chula Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chula Posted March 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Did she have any trouble taking the pain meds after her extraction? We give her pills in the pill pockets but even now with her sore tooth she's struggling to take her antibiotics. I'm worried we won't be able to get her to take them.

Osinn11 Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 At the advice of our vet, the rest of her tooth was never removed.We make sure to check it often. So far so good. This happened over a year and a half ago. The tooth She broke was her top right k9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chula Posted March 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Yeah they have to take this tooth. It's too badly fractured to fix or leave as it is. Because of the type of break, stuff gets jammed up in there and I was able to get a look at her gums and there was definitely an abscess starting. And it's definitely hurting her and it makes me cry to know she's in pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chula Posted March 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 It's starting to turn black. It's becoming a challenge to get her to take her antibiotics because she spits out the pill pockets so she can try to break it into smaller pieces.

Jay Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 You could try smashing the pills up and put it in pumpkin or something. Might be easier for her to eat Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammybeans Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Poor pup hope things get better for her and that you're able to go in Monday to get the tooth taken care of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chula Posted March 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Surgery rescheduled for tomorrow because of weather. And now she's somehow cut her back right foot near her toe and it's bleeding, plus her front left dewclaw looks not so great. Sigh. This dog is on a suicide mission I swear. Hopefully they can take a look at her feet tomorrow while she's under and see if there's anything that needs to be done.

Chula Posted March 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 It looks like she somehow tore the nail to the side of her toe. She's none too happy about being touched there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chula Posted March 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 They just called and Chula's extraction is all done! They said it went better than expected and that from the looks of the tooth it must have been causing her considerable pain, so she will probably feel better right away even with the surgical wound. I'm very relieved! I know it's a common procedure but any time she has to go under anesthesia I can't help but worry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chula Posted March 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) She is just crying and crying I don't know what to do. I think it's because she's so drugged and confused. It is breaking my heart. Edited March 6, 2014 by Chula Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 I am sure he will be fine very soon. I am glad the procedure went well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
