Princess has maloccluded front teeth, which first started in Feb of this year. She has had them burred about every 2 months or so since then, but recently it has been once a month. I'm off to the vets again this afternoon with her to have them burred (it's been 4 weeks since last visit, they aren't bad at mo but I won't have a day off during next 2 weeks to take her and I don't want them to be awful when I get back).
I was wondering about people's experiences with removing front teeth? I've read a few people's experiences and it all seems quite positive, I'm sure she will be happier without them as she does get stressed going to the vets and can't be pleasant having teeth that grow like that! I'm going to talk to my vet about having them removed this afternoon. When I mentioned it about 5 months ago to another vet, she wasn't too keen, she thought it was a big op for Princess (think she was inferring she was old! I'd estimate her to be about 4ish, but in good health now, had bloat beginning of September but fine now).
She last had her molars done in Feb, so am wondering if they may need doing too - though she has no trouble eating really, apart from when her front teeth start getting long - but then I just notice she won't munch on carrot or things that are too hard.
Any thoughts or opinions?
