Well, Beastie had his neutering done today along with microchipping, extraction of remaining baby teeth, repair of small umbilical hernia, and testing of tear ducts. All went well, but the vet said his tonsils are enlarged, causing the tear ducts to block and causing the tearstaining. A course of tetracycline compound in 30 days (when the rest of his adult teeth are all in) should clear it all up. All his labs were excellent, thank God, but the doggie dentist operating with the vet said his baby teeth were very sharp, small and unusually fragile. They are hoping that his adult teeth won't be like that, but they are concerned. Has anyone had anything similar to this fragile teeth business? I'm envisioning doggie dentures!
If anyone has any info about this, please let me know. Poor little guy, he's just lethargic and wanting Mommy to hold him.
