Elsa's 3rd GA dental under GA was done today. She has had 10 weeks between dentals but today the vet recommened we do them closer together as she had some long spurs at the back.
I have been stressing and spending all my money on meds/dentals (I'm a student) and had started to think that if they are going to be so frequent I might have to consider PTS as much as it broke my heart. BUT dad came with me to pick Elsa up today, the vet explained the situation and my dad was adamant that bad teeth that are maintainable (though expensive) should not be the end of her as she's so perky and happy most of the time. He's told me not to worry about the money (it's £70-£90 each time) and we're now going to start having dentals every 6-8 weeks rather than looking for symptoms and booking them later.
I'm so pleased Obviously I'll still be monitoring Elsa and making sure she has a good quality of life (also my mission this xmas is to try and get her to eat hay, just one strand would be a start!)
Oh also she is happy in her hutch, nice and warm and munching on dandelion leaves despite only having had her dental at around 5pm.
Merry Christmas RU!
