Behind the scenes of Dental Month with Geordie! 🦷
Ever wondered what happens during your pet’s dental procedure? Come along for Geordie’s day with us! 💙
📸 1. Admission: Geordie starts with his nurse admission appointment, including a full vitals check. Next up, IV catheter placement and pre-anaesthetic blood tests.
📸 2. Getting ready: Geordie settles into his cage while our surgical team gets everything prepared.
📸 3. Premed time: His IV pre-medication has been given, and he’s tucked under a cosy blanket to keep him warm. 🥰
📸 4. Surprise finding: During his examination, we also discovered an ear infection. Cytology showed a yeast infection, so Geordie went home with medication to clear it up. 👂
📸 5 & 6. Before & after: Geordie had Grade 1 dental disease, but a professional clean has given those teeth a lovely fresh finish! 🦷✨
📸 7. Dental X-rays: Dr Maddie performed full-mouth dental X-rays to check the tooth roots and make sure everything looked healthy below the gumline.
📸 8. The important part: Fresh chicken in recovery! 🍗 Safe to say Geordie approved.
📸 10. Fresh air: A little outdoor toilet walk in the sunshine while he continued to wake up. ☀️🐾
📸 11. Home time: All ready to head home, with fresh breath and a home dental care plan in place. Discharge instructions were discussed with his owner so they know how to keep those pearly whites clean at home. 🏡🦷
And that’s a wrap on Geordie’s Dental Day! 💙
