It's official

Littles is toothless.

16 extractions today.

While not all teeth were bad he, like most adult/senior Chihuahuas, has horrible and rapidly advancing dental disease.  Maintaining his oral health has resulted in nearly yearly dental procedures and extractions.  Not knowing his exact age in combination with a heart murmur makes the procedure requiring anesthesia increasingly risky.

This veterinarian suggested a full extraction and I agreed.

Looking forward to picking my little guy up tonight and relieved there are no more dentals in his future!

  1. Good move sparing him any more surgeries in the future. Hope he's not too uncomfortable tonight!
