Hi everyone, I have a difficult question. Ilsa saw her acupuncture vet today and she pointed out that ilsa has 2 loose teeth and a great deal of tartar. This is odd, as she had her teeth done 3 months ago with her MRI and two teeth pulled. She showed me the teeth and how she whined when you touched them. She also said this was new as she checks her teeth every appointment and they were fine 2 weeks ago.
Ilsa doesn't let me brush her teeth easily, though I still make the effort, I use the dental spray and give her nutri-dent chews. We made an appointment to do her teeth next week, and to get a cardiac ultrasound while she's under (too bad she can't do a MRI).
I just don't understand why this could happen so quickly, it's unsettling. I usually do her teeth once a year, she's only 4.
She has SM, could that have anything to do with it? Anything else that could cause such rapid tooth decay?
