Hubby and I took our oldest Baby Dog to the vet today, and after discussing our options, we all decided it would be best to opt out of tooth extraction surgery. With her age, and condition, it doesn't make sense to put her through that. So our vet pescribed a daily antibiotic to be given to her indefinitely. Keeping the infection suppressed will

Yay! :o) I'm glad she's still perking up and you made the best decision you can for her! *HUGS*

Thank you hon! *hugs* I'm glad that we don't have to put her to sleep. He said that as long as she's perky and happy we should just let her keep rolling along. So glad that keeping her on antibiotics indefinitely was an option. Giving her the best quality of life possible is the most important thing to us.

Sounds like a good plan...just keep her comfy! (I think you might recognize the icon :) )

Thank you, we all thought it was best. Keep her feeling as good as possible with medication is the safest and least traumatizing choice. Surgery would have been so hard on her.

I do recognize it! Love seeing my icons still being used. :D

Great! I'm glad she can be treated with antibiotic pills rather than surgery.

Thank you, we are too! I'm glad that she's not in pain, and is feeling better. We're going to do our best to keep her happy and comfortable as long as possible.

I hope she keeps living her best life for years to come.

Thank you hon. We're going to cherish the time we have left with her.

Antibiotics are much better than surgery for an aging pet. Sending along good vibes for both of you.

Yes, if she were a few years younger it may have been an option - but she's now so thin and too feeble. Thank you so much.
