Teebs Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Kaos needs a tooth removed, one right at the back. I am going to try to get her in this week to get it out of the way. Do i have to watch what i feed her? She is normally on dry food, and fresh meat and bones - im guessing bones will be out for a little while? but not sure about the other food.

becks Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 She may want soft food for the first day after (sore throat maybe from pipe?) After that she should be OK for normal rations, she can always do the crunching on the other side of her mouth. I find mouths tend to heal really fast. Maybe add the bones after a few days.

puggy_puggy Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 As becks said. Soft food for the first few days then usually back to normal. Maybe wet the dry food and get some minced chicken carcuss. The mouth has a great blood supply so heals very quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tru Borders Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Asher had one of his pre molars out a few months ago (big bone crunching one at back) and we fed roast chicken for the first 36 hours after surgery (he didnt eat for the first 15 hours) as it is not a teeth sticking food. The vet recommended this for us. For about a 5 days after we fed dry that was mixed with a little warm water to soften and other non chewing food. Then we brought back in the chewy stuff. I didnt bring the bones back in for about 2 weeks though.... probably more of a paranoia thing!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teebs Posted July 5, 2009 Author Share Posted July 5, 2009 Thats the one, the big one at the back, poor girl, i didnt even notice it till the other day, but doesnt seem to be worrying her... vet said it does need to be out ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Asher seemed ok aswell, but Vet said it needed to come out asap. The hardest part for me was him coming out of the anaesthetic. I slept on the floor while he slept on the cushions!! Yep, I'm a sookie lala for my boy!! Just so you know Teebs I have been feeding all the regular Bones and raw food that I fed beforehand and he never has a problem, even with no cruncher on one side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zayda_asher Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 (edited) Here is the thread where HH and I discussed our dogs' tooth extractions.... http://www.dolforums.com.au/index.php?show...l=tooth+removal Should have lots of info. Soft food for 7 days and no bones for 14 were the deal here. Edited July 6, 2009 by zayda_asher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teebs Posted July 6, 2009 Author Share Posted July 6, 2009 argh, now im worried, i also think it is the back premolar, i cant get in to look tho, she wiggles too much for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zayda_asher Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I'm sure you'll be right!! You'd never know with Zayda now, she uses that side of her mouth more and everything, much better without it in there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teebs Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 ok, well last time vet said it could wait a bit longer, but not any more! It is getting pulled on Friday, she said she can do it tomorrow, but i am the working the next 3 days, so we booked Friday so I can be home on the weekend with her. Atlas may pick on her if she isnt feeling well, and if the weather stays yuck and she is not feeling well, i rather her inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anniek Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Last year, my old boy had both of his premolars out at the same time. For the first few days after surgey, I fed him larger pieces of raw meat - nothing that could get caught/stuck in the holes By about day 4 or 5 he was on chicken necks and wings, by day 7 back to frames, briskets etc. The stithes were disolvable and he had absolutely no problems. Loosing those two toofers though, it now takes him longer to chew frames etc as he finds it hard to "get a grip" of them to get started. annirK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
