So Sierra got dropped off at the Vet to get one tooth pulled, well the vet just called and she needs more dental work we knew her one top incisor had to go but after xrays and a full mouth check she has cracked her molar on the bottom left and that needs to come out. she has a few chips on the canines that will get filled and i guess she has 2 loose incisors on the bottom to watch. my poor baby girl, i did not even ask how much i will just hand over the plastic when she is done....

guess butcher bones are out of the question now for her. i will keep you all updated on how she feels when i pick her up

Poor thing, hope everything goes okay!

Sorry to hear that, hope it doesn't cost you too much.

going in i knew it was at least $500 so no idea how much the added work added to the bill...... good thing i have great credit with high limit cards.

I hope everything turns out okay.

Awwww, Poor SiSi.

Ya, I hope she feels better and has a fast recovery after.

she is awake and i can leave work at 2 to go get her! 2 extractions and 6 or 9 sealants on other teeth (cant remember what she said). just got to finish up this wedding band and i can go!

oh good, how is she??

Sierra is home, she has been wimpering off and on, she wants to eat everything! Vet said she had low blood pressure while under so they pumped a lot of fluid in her. They sealed 9 of her teeth! And pulled 2, she also removed a mole on her cheek.just keeping an eye on her. Bill was WAY more then quoted

Poor girl, hope she feels better soon.

here is her incisor that was removed. you can see how much it was worn down and the hole that formed.





here is her molar that was removed as you can see in the pic a slice of the tooth is missing
she had to break it in half to get it out



top view, on the left is the section missing




missing section

i have pictures of her face to but on my camera, she seems back to almost normal today, still not holding her tail up high but higher then yesterday. she is on pain meds and antibiotics. she inhaled her soaked food this morning. she is a trooper and even thought she cost us a ton of money this month and we (if we wanted to charge it) could have spent that on a nice vacation im glad she is on the mend now. good thing for plastic!

Glad to hear she's on the mend. It's amazing how fast they start feeling better!

Sorry to hear she had so much work that had to be done, I had greyhounds for 12 years, no dog has worse teeth then them! I know all about having good credit and high limit cards glad she's on the mend!

how old is sierra? i feel so bad for her =/

Emily, sierra is 10.

here she is back home day of and a pic of where the mole was removed.




she is doing much better now, it has been a week. i have also noticed a decrees in dark eye boogers since having the teeth pulled. the vet said that the liver cleanses it self through the eyes and that its a good sign the boogers have gotten better, i have high hopes her liver is getting better now as well

Poor pretty girl =( Why did they remove the mole? Did they have reason to believe it could turn malignant?

she said it looked fine, nothing to worry about but in time they grow larger and could fall off and bleed. for $30 she just cut it off since she was all ready out, now i don't have to worry about it!
