One night when Martin & Scout were playing tug when Scout's canine teeth broke. I'm sure it sounds extreme, but it's actually pretty common. His teeth needed to be extracted to prevent infection. Our vet decided while we had him under the knife to get everything done in one foul swoop. He had his upper canine teeth extracted, neutered, and microchipped. That's a lot for one little dog!
He's recovering great though! Post-op they tell you things like, "oh, he might be lethargic, that's normal." Ha. Ha ha. They clearly don't know my dog. He was back to causing trouble in no time! When I went to go pick him up I was getting discharge instructions from the vet. Scout heard my voice from his holding area and started whining at the top of his lungs. The vet gave up and brought Scout in to finish the discharge! Aaaawww, I think he likes me!
He has 2 weeks in the cone of shame - wish us luck!
Awww, teeth AND neutering?? Poor puppy!
