Romeo and his teeth
20 Nov 2009
Poor Romeo,
He had to have 13 teeth removed. The way I found out was by accident. I thought he had a scratch under his eye from the rose bushes that he loves to smell. But it turns out that was not the case. I took him to the groomers and she thought the same thing until she started to trim his face, and notices a hole from a abscess that was related to his teeth. Fortunate his groomer is associated with a Vet’s office. She let the Dr. take a look and found out that he had a sever problem with his teeth and needed surgery as soon as possible. He could not believe that poor Romeo was not showing that he was in pain. I never had any sign that he had a problem. So of course I told the Vet to take care of him right away and $800 later and 13 teeth later, Romeo is doing fine.
The moral of the story, keep an eye on your pet, look for any signs of behavior changes that can alert you that he or she is not feeling well. And a good thing to have would be pet insurance, I know I wish I had it.
