Kody’s Shiny New Tooth

Kody now has a shiny new tooth. They were going to do a cleaning today, if necessary, but it wasn't really necessary, which is good news. Kody seems to be much better off than when he had the root canal but he is definitely very groggy and mellow. He did have some dinner, though.

He gets very concerned about the leg where they put the IV in, I think mainly because it's just something different. I hope that tomorrow he's feeling his usual frisky self. I have some nice rawhide chews for him to enjoy and I'm sure he'll love being able to chew again.

Great news all around! I know he can’t say it with words, but Kody knows that you helped him out of a painful situation.
We’ve used the CET chews from the vet before, and had OK results with them. Since Oskar is about 11 pounds, I’d buy the large size and could cut each one into 3 pieces, thus making them cost effective. The smaller size was easier on his tummy too, as he would sometimes vomit after too much CET. Not sure if it was the coating, but our pup has a tender digestive tract. They really didn’t keep his teeth cleaner either, but that may have been because he couldn’t handle the proper dose(?) of the material. I’m not sure. He just loves the baby bull sticks although I’m not sure that they do a thing to help keep his teeth clean. Perhaps we’ll need to do the entire cleaning process sooner than later.

All our best to you and Kody!
