It’s been a while since I’ve posted on the blog. Going through the experience of Kody’s fractured tooth was just so difficult that I’m exhausted. First experiencing the fracture itself and a week of pain until he had his first trip to the dentist. The trips to the dentist were difficult in a whole different way [...]

Just a quick note to say that Kody has been feeling better and I gave him one of his new rawhide chews. He was excited by the fact that he hadn’t had one in a long time and spent the next two hours trying to bury it in different places. Then he started chewing on it [...]

Poor Kody has a little bit of Diarrhea and I assume some associated stomach discomfort which I think is what’s bugging him the most. When he came back from his root canal he didn’t have diarrhea but he was a bit fixated on his butt for a while, so I think it was probably the [...]

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 [...]

Kody is doing great today and he’s more playful than he’s been since he fractured his tooth. It’s so great to see him asking to play and then being able to play so animatedly. Post Root Canal – Pre Crown Food If you’re a regular reader you know that I cook Kody lunch every day and give [...]

Kody is definitely doing better than he was yesterday. First, he’s not drugged and second the swelling in his cheeks has gone away. But he’s still pretty tender. He’ll give me kisses but I can tell it kind of hurts him to use his mouth still. I’m not really cut out for parenthood. I’m a good [...]

I went to pick up Kody and he seems to be doing pretty good. We had some good news in that his tooth was not as badly damaged as we feared so Kody will be a little better off as far as long term care. We were afraid that the tooth was more damaged under [...]
