Tooth Trouble

Maggie had to have seven teeth pulled on Monday.  She has horrible teeth and her gums are always red.  I have tried brushing.  I have tried special chew toys.  The only relief she gets is when she is on prednisone.



Nothing ever goes the way you plan it.  First of all we had to drive in the freezing rain Monday night to pick Maggie up from the vet.  She seemed fine for a few days but she was on pain meds and really didn't notice her teeth.  On Friday, the meds were gone and the soft food had Maggie's tummy upset. Now we had a new problem.  Saturday we started Maggie on hamburger mixed with rice.  Panther gets a little as well.  We can't have anyone getting jealous.  The mixture seems to be working.  I hope the greys don't think that hamburger has been added to their menu.  I planned on having that hamburger sometime next week for dinner but... I think this was more important.  I'll be keeping my eye on Maggie this week, just to make sure everything is back to normal.  At least as normal as it can be with two boys and two greys in the same house.  :-)

New Year Updates

We're Back! Just In Time for Some New Year Updates!

I have no good excuse for being gone so long...just lots going on and nothing too interesting on the DIY front. The boys have finally finished football...
Panther enjoys dressing the part...




Maggie is scheduled to have a few teeth pulled. She has always had tooth problems.  I am hoping this helps.  Her gums are always bright red.  Ouch.  I feel so bad for her.  The vet has her on prednizone, which helps, but I hate to keep her on it for a long period of time.  I'll let you know how this works out for her.


Do any of your greyhounds have problems with their teeth or gums?  What types of treatment(s) have you tried?  Please let me know.
