Recovery from Dental surgery

Last week was my dogs dental surgery. He had 8 teeth removed and they wanted to take out two more. They said they were comprised but very deep rooted and their was a risk of fracturing his jaw. I said no he would already have to recover from the 8 teeth he just had removed. They have given me 18 months to decide what to do with them.

I guess the option was to go to a vet dentist. It would be nice to not have to have them removed as they are crucial teeth. I will look into what is best. Who knows where my dog will be in a year and a half.

I was a little worried about the surgery as I’ve never had surgery done on any of my dogs. He’s a trooper and it is crazy how quickly he bounced back after the surgery.

He’s on two weeks of recovery no toys which is really hard. He uses his toys as a way to calm down and he loves to play. No hard food or bones and no chewing. He’s missing his buddies at daycare. We have one more week at home.

It’s hard to keep a dog entertained when he can’t do much of anything. Sunday was his 9th birthday and I got him a lick mat. His birthday will be postponed for a few weeks. I’m not sure where 9 years went. Poof and they were gone.

I’m so glad I get many more years with him. Hopefully he won’t need more teeth out.šŸ™‚
