Mildred🎀: a heart murmur + periodontal disease + tooth resorption combo!!!
After moving back to Brisbane from Mt Isa, Mildred's family noticed she wasn't eating as enthusiastically and that her canine teeth had become loose. During her visit with Dr. Will in early 2026, we found severe periodontal disease with suspected tooth resorption, along with an unexpected heart murmur. ❤️🦷
Because every patient deserves the safest anaesthetic possible, Dr. Will recommended pre-operative blood testing and an echocardiogram with a veterinary cardiologist to fully assess her anaesthetic risk. ❤️💉
With the expertise of our anaesthesiologist, Dr. Nick Cowling, Dr. Will and the Sabertooth team safely performed near full-mouth extractions—and Mildred was an absolute superstar! ✨
Fast forward to the postop recheck visit... she's recovered beautifully and is absolutely thriving! 🥹🌼
We're so happy for you, Mildred, and a huge thank you to your wonderful family for trusting us with your care. 🫶
🦷 At Sabertooth, specialist dentistry is just one part that we provide. We take a whole-patient approach, carefully assessing each pet's overall health and anaesthetic risk before every procedure. As a vet dental specialist, Dr. Will also collaborates with other registered veterinary specialists whenever their expertise will benefit our patients, because providing the safest, highest standard of care is at the heart of everything we do. ❤️
