I know there are often threads on here about incisor removal due to constant clipping being required and the overall feeling is it's better to have them out.
Poppy has decayed incisors, they don't overgrow but get pussy. They were treated with depocillin but she had a reaction to that. She now has baytril which for the last couple of times has worked with a weeks course but then when stopped about a month or so later it comes back.
Would you have them out? She has lower incisor root damage so I know an abcess is also inevitable at some point. The reason I am in a dilemma is because she currently has conscious dentals for her molars (about twice a year), apparently this is a lot harder without the incisors.
I think when her teeth get pussy again (we finished baytril a week ago), I'll have to make the decision, any advice is greatly appreciated.
Oh, and she doesn't get stressed by going to the vets to be looked at regularly, so that's not really a factor to be looked at!!
