Kristin Bauer Instagram – Sammy had a dental surgery yesterday and had two teeth pulled, and it was very traumatic for him (and mommy). He came home and hid under the comforter for 24 hours. 😞 He was on pain meds so I just stayed with him but decided to see if the dogs could cheer him up after one day. When he heard them come in the bedroom he came out from under immediately and this was what happened when they saw each other. 😩💞💓💗He loves them soooooo much! I have to wait another day before he sees Loshe as Loshe is always weird with him until that vet smell wears off.
Thank God I get all my pets teeth non anesthetic dental cleanings every 4 months! As Sammy had just been seen by a mobile vet and the vet did NOT see this tooth reabsorption happening. Did you know one reason why many vets just order an anesthetic dental cleaning (by age or even yearly😱, not by need) is because they aren’t comfortable OR TRAINED to fully examining inside a cats mouth while they are awake!!! It’s also bread and butter for them (as well as vaccines but an indoor cat need no vaccines. There are no communicable cross species diseases).
Sammy’s teeth had no tartar and no decay! – he had a resorption happening where his body was eating the tooth from the inside out 😬. It’s a mystery why this happens and I pray it does not happen again!! Most of my pets never need even one anesthetic dental in their lifetimes and never more than one and have perfect teeth. It’s just common sense!! We get our teeth cleaned twice a year with out anesthesia! Some dental techs know how to burrito a cat and clean their teeth just like a humans! My Dogs are easy, They just lie there with their mouths open. Don’t let ANYONE tell you different!! (Some unscrupulous vets will, so I may have to turn off comments again as they really get angry).
Thank you @healingtouchvets for taking such great care of my beloved Sammy!!! #cataanddogs #catsanddogslivingtogether #dental #catdental | Posted on 14/Feb/2024 12:34:39
