I took her in a few weeks ago because I was worried about the tartar and her tear ducts.
She is not good about letting anyone look in her mouth.
The vet discovered that she only had tartar on one side. She was doing all her chewing on the other side. Turns out that she had a retained cap that wasn't pulled during her spay.:w00t: The poor thing, it must have been really bothering her.
The vet said she'd have to go under again and have it pulled out. First she wanted us to try these HUGE bites of food as a dental cleaning tool, instead of cookies. We've been giving them to her 3 times a day.
The cap is gone:chili::aktion033: I'm so happy that she doesn't have to go under again.
Since this cap is gone her face has been completely dry. It was constantly wet before.
