please send prayers for Sam's littermate Brother Zolo Bubba Bear. I noticed the tip of his canine tooth slightly faint purple, new right away pulpitis and needs to come out. He is diabetic and I worry about anesthesia , his diabetes sugar levels, the surgery itself. He is a big boy and a big canine. vet assured me will monitor. he is her only surgery for the day and first drop off. I asked alot of questions. vet will make a flap so no gaping hole. between him and Sam they are keeping me on my toes.
I was waiting outside in the car when I took bubbs bear to vet last week for his rabies vaccine, HW test, blood work, annual exam. mentioned to the tech(they call and chat before bringing dog inside), asking questions on the phone to please have vet check that canine tooth. well, vet came out to my car and I said, how's that tooth, needs to be pulled right? I told the vet tech to have you take a look pls. she did not get the message obviously... she went back in to look. do vets not give a visual to teeth anymore during annual exam, or do they cut corners with Covid since we can't go inside ? not nice to say, but I really think his purple tinged rottie large canine tooth is obvious... felt like I had to self diagnosis. would never have been addressed until it abscessed. she said his teeth look good. (he had a dental about about a years ago , using plaque off powder on food ).
so, vet called back and discussed canine extraction and his diabetes and surgery. scheduled for 8/14 . he is eating and acting fine. vet said it has to come out because when she looked at it it is pushing out a tiny bit. he eats and play with his toys fine., big goofball.
once again, thanks for more thoughts and prayers for Sam and Zolo Bubba Bear.
hugs n head smooches.
