I have a 13 year old Pomeranian..
He was seen by a Vet 2 months ago about his dental issues. Both sides of face had swollen up to perhaps 3X?
Vet said using anesthesia to correct dental issues.pull teeth, is not recommended. Using anesthesia may be dangerous because of his weight. 6 pounds.
Vet gave 1 regiment of an antibiotic. Then a 2nd one.
I have given him the antibiotic regiments. The swelling of his face has subsided. At least for now.
I have give/ given him Biotene Oratene Maintenance Gel. I try everyday---miss some days because i forget when i get home from work and tired out. Plus he puts up a fight to have it put on his teeth. Does Biotene Oratene Maintenance Gel do what it says it will do?
I dont know what to do next?
His teeth look bad.
There has been some improvement with the above. His barking personality 'at everything' has returned to about 80%.
He still tilts his head to one side when barking which began with his dental issues.
About brushing his teeth? I know why i have a bad tooth, brushing hurts. Also, he would be difficult to brush but i would do it if route to go.
thanks
