I’m a Vet Nurse and my dog seemed completely normal.
Luna was eating, chewing and playing as normal. Even tugging her toys.
If I went just off her behaviour I would think there was nothing wrong.
Pets don’t show pain in the way we expect them too.
As part of a regular dental check, I found something.
A slab fracture of her carnassial tooth.
If you have had any dental issues, then you know how painful this could have been.
I have no idea when this happened or how long it had been fractured.
This is why regular dental checks are so important.
As an Advanced Registered Veterinary Nurse with a BVNA/BVDA Oral Care Nurse Certificate, I offer home visits for dental checks, and formulate a dental health plan for your pet.
Home visits mean no travel, no busy and loud waiting rooms, just a calm home environment and plenty of time to ensure your pet is comfortable.
If it’s been a while since your pets teeth were properly assessed or you want advice on how to care for your pets teeth, send me a message or email me ([email protected])
