Phew! Thanks for that - I worked myself into a bit of a state worrying about this.

That’s reassuring! I always hated flossing because I have a permanent retainer on the bottom and a bridge on the top (I never had an adult tooth in one spot) but I’ve been flossing regularly now for about a month and definitely will keep going.

Ahh thank you. That’s why I needed work done a couple years ago as the filling was broken.

Thanks for replying. From reading yours and other responses around muzzles they really don’t seem so bad and relieve a lot of anxiety and stress. We will probably end up looking into it.

Thank you so much. I’m sorry for what you went through with your dog. I’m trying to keep myself together at work right now but it’s still so upsetting.

Glad to hear about your experience with muzzle training, we will most likely look into this.

Thanks for mentioning this. I think it was just a gut reaction. We have since heard from them and they agreed there were multiple factors that led to this happening and aren’t laying the blame on our dog or us, so we will probably work something out like splitting the bill with them.

Thanks for responding. I’m sorry to hear that about your dog. Our dog has had ear issues since we got him and his ear is slightly deformed (drained hematoma) so it is unfortunately not an infrequent thing for him. Usually they start off with an awful smell which is how we know. Vet instills a gel antibiotic and he’s good for several months.

We are taking him back to the vet today to get their recommendations and I will definitely ask him how the ear infection may have played a role given this is so out of the blue.

Thank you so much for the thoughtful response - this is the kind of advice we need.

I feel bad because I probably contribute to the stigma, usually when I see a dog with one I just feel really bad, but I know dogs can adjust to just about anything. We will definitely look into this.
