Right, so, at least we have a lovely house in a lovely neighborhood... I'm not ungrateful by any means... but aside from that we are quite poor. A few weeks ago, Liz went into work with me for a quick exam for something completely unrelated, and my vet found a fractured molar. He said it could've been like that for quite a while, and it wasn't an emergency, but it needed to come out. Fair enough.
It started changing color, he saw her again ~2 weeks ago when I had her lounging around the office with me, he said it's dead (it's like brown now) and I scheduled her for this coming Friday, because I know our only other surgery is a neuter & no biggie.
I was going to take Daisy in for an exam before getting her a non-anasthetic dental for Thursday morning - Doc said she should have one "just to make sure she doesn't have an issue like your other dog". So this morning after my workout, I was lying on the floor with Dais & decided to give her a quick once over. EGADS - her molar (same one as Liz's) has a big ol' pocket above it, the gum is inflamed, and I squeezed some PUS out! I'm freaking out - CLEARLY that tooth will have to go.
She's 12 and I don't want to put her under, I am unreasonably upset.
NOW FOR MY QUESTION:
Has anyone had major tooth extractions in raw fed dogs? Can I go back to feeding them raw after their mandated 2 weeks of soft food? I can't even ask my vet because he's totally against raw to begin with, and pushes Hill's & Royal Canin like crazy.
If you read this, thanks. You can have a cookie. But I only have paleo-friendly cookies right now, so I understand if you decline
