Tooth fixed

Well, Dylan went to the dentist on Friday, 21st January. It is John Sauvage in Cranbook that did the dental. The tooth is filled now and looks good. Dylan is definitely a lot more comfortable again.

The vet, John, said that there is no guarantee that the tooth will hold, but if it doesn't, then he will do the extraction for free. I will not give Dylan bones anymore, so hopefully it will be ok. Even if not, it is worth a try.

Dylan was very whingy after the procedure on Friday when we were at Karen's for the rest of the day, but by the evening he was ok again. Saturday he was fine and we went to hydrotherapy - though we kept it light and short for him.

Yesterday, 25th, we went back to Cranbrook for the check up and John was very pleased with the outcome.

Dylan's tooth can be saved

I got a call from Mark today and he said that his friend, the dental specialist, said that the tooth could be saved. So I called that surgery immediately and booked an appointment for Friday. So Dylan is off to Cranbrook on Friday to get his tooth fixed. I am so glad that it doesn't have to be extracted.

Dylan's molar

I took Dylan to see Mark this morning as his broken molar is covered in plaque and doesn't look good. Mark wasn't happy with what he saw. He pulled the slither or tooth off and I've got some antibiotics for Dylan.

Mark will talk to a friend of his who is a dental specialist whether anything can be done. Perhaps the tooth needs to come out after all. And a little perhaps it can stay as it is... (unlikely though).

After a bit of research I have just found that this type of fracture is called a slap fracture!
