Bella had 6 teeth out

[Steffers]

My dog had 12 teeth out last year . . . they were bad when we got him and in the end we gave up trying to improve the condition of them with a toothbrush alone and he went to the vets for a clean under GA . . .

My hubby was horrified when he realised just how many teeth had gone

Is this kind of teeth issue common in Cavs then ???

Gosh I'm worried now. Dora is going in for a spay in just over a months time and the vet said she has the teeth of a 7 year old. He's going to clean them when she's under anaesthetic. She's only 2 I dread to think how they got so bad (Dora is a rescue)

Don't be too worried Cecily. I was really shocked when they told me Molly had 6 out but the vet said dogs have 42 teeth so losing some is not too big of a deal.

I'm glad that both my girls have nice fresh breath and pearly whites now .

Good luck to Dora for her op

Really? 42? I didn't know that actually.
Hopefully it won't be too traumatic for her. She's such a pet.
Although she does like to get up close and personal, so It'll be nice to improve the breath!
Glad your pair are the better for it
