Larsen’s done. They are
just watching him, but he is waking up. His teeth cleaned up “nicely”.
No decay. The vet said that he might be groggy for the next day or two, so TLC as far
as exercise goes. She thought I should feed him half rations today and if he holds it down, I can
return to normal. I might moisten the kibble with warm water to make it easier to
eat since his gums might be sore. Chicken and rice are fine too for a day
or so. The vet will keep him until the end of the day, just to observe him.
Cleaning a dog's teeth involves a big tradeoff because of the potential adverse effects of the anesthesia. Clean teeth and healthy gums are critically important to overall health, however, and it is worth the risk to get rid of buildup and the potential for gingivitis and worse.
