More expensive adventures of Oreo the black tooth wonder dog.
Oreo went to the vet on Monday to be evaluated for dental surgery and cleaning. They drew blood work to check his liver and kidneys to see if he can take anesthesia. The vet saw at least 3 teeth that need to be extracted.
He still has hookworms from his life on the streets that we are treating. The vet put him on antibiotics and Pepcid for acid reflux as well as suggesting we give him a small meal before bed.
The time change last week is playing havoc with his wake up time. Between old man dog bladder and acid reflux, he wakes us up at 5am. He sleeps off and on throughout the day but I am unable to go back to sleep.
We are giving him dental chews for help with tartar build-up. He is hilarious to watch and reminds me why I should never chew gum in public.
His breath has gone from "would gag a magot" to " oh good Lord!" We are hoping the antibiotics will help too.
If you looked in his mouth you would you think that he just ate a whole bag of Oreos!
