Takin' the Blog for a Surgery
Sir Fido hasn't been feeling himself lately. Let out little yelps for no reason. Wasn't touching his favorite food: bananas. I noticed he had an abscessed tooth and made an appointment at Pewaukee Veterinary Service.Dr. Tom, an old high school classmate of mine, saw him today and confirmed my diagnosis.
There really aren't too many choices. You can't just leave him suffer with it. The tooth has to come out.
I've marked in the photo the tooth causing pain. Notice the V-shaped root. This tooth actually has three roots, and to remove it involves removing bone and cutting the tooth into three sections. Pretty complicated compared to our teeth.
He'll have the surgery Monday. While he's out they're going to give him a good teeth cleaning too. He'll be home by Monday afternoon.
