Did post a thread in health but it's being ignored so am seeking some advice on dentals.
We adopted JayJay a lionlop in April/May this year and at the time weren't made aware of any health issues he had. However he was in poor condition when we got him and after a couple of months showed no improvement so he was taken to the **** vet school in Edinburgh.
It was found he had a tooth missing at the back and as a result the other had nothing to stop it growing. Most of his other back teeth had spurs too.
He's had three dentals since we got him and the most recent two only three weeks apart with him being in obvious pain and discomfort.
During the most recent op they attempted to loosen the offending tooth with no success. I wonderd if anyone knew of anything else that could be done. The vet school have said that we cannot put him through dentals every three weeks. They dont think he'll cope well with the op to remove the tooth as he is in such poor condition.
I'm to collect him tomorrow at some point and am assuming we'll be advised to either risk the removal or have him put to sleep.
