Pringle & Panko’s Thread

A sad update today
Pringles teeth are not looking good, he has been on daily Metacam and seemed to be eating well but we noticed the front teeth were growing wonky again
We decided as he was eating well to take him for just the front teeth to be trimmed, when he was at the vets one of his teeth just fell out, and the vet said it much have been cracked low down, back teeth are also not looking good, he would need a lot of regular dental work to correct.
Given his age and his shy nature we will monitoring him closely and when he stops eating we will let him go, we knew they may be the case when the teeth issues appeared in December.
Panko is having his neuter next Wednesday so he will be ready for a lady friend.
Very sad but we know Pringle has had the best life and we will be cherishing every day we have with him.

They really are, if we knew they could be fixed with one treatment that would be wonderful but that is very much not going to be the case.

No, they rarely are. In Odi's case we battled for over 1.5 years. It started mildly and got slowly worse in the course of time. Luckily, I've got a great vet who did concess dentals for as long as it was possible and after that a light anaesthetic that Odi tolerated very well. But it meant a dentals every three to four weeks for many months, constant hand feeding and Odi's amazing fighting spirit. He just never gave up and are hay on his own. He was such a happy boy right until the end.
 
Panko has paid a visiting to the plum fairy this morning! Is is awake and recovering well had a little nibble at some veggies! I will be picking him up this afternoon.. as Pringle isn’t very well I didn’t take him along to the vets, he seems to be having a nice quiet relaxing day! 😆

I am so sorry to hear your sad news about Pringle, from someone who has had to deal with two dental piggies I fully understand what you are going through, sending huge hugs.
 
Little update on the boys!
Pringle is doing great with his three front teeth, the new one is just starting to poke through, he is gaining weight and seems very happy! So pleased with him and how well he has coped like it’s nothing!

Panko recovered well from his neuter, he hit a hay poke on Friday so we have been on drops 4 times a day which he is not happy about! But it’s looking a lot better and the vet was happy at his 3 day check! Since his neuter he has also been a lot better for the hair brush… not sure if it’s related or not but I’m very pleased! 😆
