*sigh* It never rains but it pours with my pair.
We were at the vet last week because Prince seemed to have hurt his back, turned out to be nothing too serious anyway, just a strain but while the vet was giving him a look over one of his teeth fell out so he had a look and said he needed a couple of teeth out and also a scale and polish just to get them nice.
His heart murmur seems to be getting more noticeable as well so I guess it wont be too long before he will be on treatment for that.
Also during the same visit he noticed that Belle seemed to have luxating patellas. He said the fact that she is so small and light is in her favour with this one but she may need surgery / x-rays etc if she presents with any further symptoms.
Does anyone have any words of wisdom especially regarding the teeth and patellas? They are new to me so any tips / advice would be much appreciated.
