Hi everyone!
I’m alittle upset so I’m sorry for the long post. My skittles has an infection in one of her top, front incisors. The vet wants to remove it. We tried metacam and antibiotics but it doesn’t seem to be helping. She got diarrhea from the abx so they had to use a non-preferred one. This will affect the rest of her life and I’m sitting here thinking about how her life will be after having the tooth removed. Will she be able to properly groom herself? I assume she can’t chatter any more or boggle. Will her teeth need to be cut down, and how often? Plus she will have to be on a soft diet the rest of her life. Does anyone have any suggestions on food I could give her? Someone recommended soaking her oxbow in broth and giving it to her but she didn’t care much for it.
Has anyone been through this process before? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you!
