Meet our pet of the week, Tsuki!

We first met Tsuki in June of 2023 for an injury to the roof of her mouth. There was an opening that led into her nasal cavity. This created an issue as it allowed food to pass into Tsuki’s nose and get stuck. Tsuki has had multiple procedures to attempt to repair her palate. Despite these attempts to repair the defect, she continued to have an opening from her mouth into her nose. Because of the difficult location, more surgery was not an option for Tsuki. We elected to plug the hole with a silicone palatal obturator. Tsuki can now eat and drink without getting stuff up into her nose. We are so thrilled to know that Tsuki is doing fantastic at home and is happier! We cannot wait to see how Tsuki thrives over the years with the palatal obturator.

Meet our pet of the week Smoky!
Smoky was referred to us for stomatitis. Smoky’s mouth was so painful and ulcerated that it was causing him to not eat well and lose weight. The treatment plan for Smoky was full mouth extractions. After recovery, we will continue rechecking Smoky to ensure he is healing and feeling comfortable! Our team is dedicated to keeping your pet healthy and happy!

Smoky had a recheck exam today and he is doing so much better!

Meet our pet of the week, Raider!
Raider is a 4-year-old Tabby. Raider came to us for pain in his mouth. After an exam and consultation Raider was found to have juvenile periodontitis and severe end stage periodontal disease. Juvenile periodontitis is when there is an immune response to when the adult teeth are erupting. This will lead to severe gingivitis, rapid accumulation of plaque, inflammation, and early damage to the teeth. The treatment for Raider is to have a comprehensive oral health assessment, and treatment (COHAT), consisting of a complete dental cleaning, a detailed oral exam, cone beam CT (CBCT), full mouth radiographs under anesthesia, and to remove the teeth that are already unhealthy. Daily home care, such as brushing the remaining teeth, will play a key role in keeping Raider happy and comfortable!

Meet our pet of the week, Cody!
Cody came to us in November 2022 shy and frightened with a gunshot wound to the face. He was found on the streets and taken in by Stray of Hearts Animal Shelter. His injuries were severe. Cody was found to have a fracture to the lower right jaw, non-vital teeth, necrotic bone, and missing a part of his tongue. Many small metal fragments were found throughout his jaw. He was treated by our doctors by removing the necrotic bone, removing the teeth in the fractured area, and root canal therapy. Flash forward to 2024 Cody came back for a complete dental cleaning and exam. We are so thrilled to see how well Cody has adjusted to his new life. Cody now spends his days in a loving home, playing with his housemates, stealing blankets, and hearts.

Meet our pet of the week, Otis!
Otis is a 7-month kitten, who has a class-2 malocclusion. The lower canines are coming into traumatic contact with the palate. Mandibular canine extensions were placed on both lower canines to help move them into a non-traumatic placement. Without intervention, this would cause painful sores in the mouth or possibly a hole into the nasal cavity. The mandibular canine extensions will stay on for about 2 months. Follow us to see Otis’ journey!
