Hi all,
My girl Sandy is approximately 2 years old. We've had her for about 16 months, and she was an adult when we got her.
Recently her teeth started coming in misaligned -- the bottom ones splayed and really long, the top ones worn down to one side. I took her to the vet and got the teeth trimmed last week, but it already looks like they are growing in wacky again.
I'm wondering if there is anything I can do (besides giving hard foods) myself to help her. And if I will have to keep taking her to the vet to get them trimmed, is $180 (US) per procedure normal? That was for the visit, anesthesia (mask and injected, I think) and a pain meds, as one tooth had been cutting her cheek. What have you all done in this situation? I don't feel good about the anesthesia either, since she's no spring chicken...
Thanks for any advice!
