toothless wonder, getting more toothless


taking a break :: 26/52, originally uploaded by sarah ....

Jane has a broken tooth - it broke a couple months ago, and now it is loose, and she has been chewing at herself as it is irritating her. We didn't have it removed right away a it wasn't bugging her, and putting her under anesthetic again is risky for her. She is acting perfectly normal, eating and she is spunky, besides the biting at her self and the extra salivating.

The rest of her teeth are in amazing shape for an 11 year old dog - it's just her front ones, poor girl!

You can see her feet look a little red and there are sore spots on her legs too. The little bit of tooth will be removed next week. It is her third broken tooth, and third time being put under in 2 years - after the first one left a gap exposed, the other top front teeth beside it have literally popped off ... she has a heart condition, so it is always risky putting her under, but we don't really have a choice. I am really worried for her.

Hopefully it will be okay. Its good that the vet knows her health issues so those can be checked before she goes under
