Hello all,
Just wondered what your opinions on Jaspers teeth are. He has serverly mis-aligned teeth and needs to have them burred every 3-4 weeks. Whilst he doesn't seem traumatised by it, he has to be gas cos he is such a wriggler, he seems fine when he gets home and is ok to eat straight away.
Towards the 3rd week tho his teeth are so long and wondering that it must hurt, like for instance when he's eating a pear and the force that goes on his teeth to actually chomp bits off, must hurt a bit. Altho I do cut it down for him, but means that he can eat all the chewy treats.
Anyway, my vet has mentioned about getting his teeth removed, which has to be carried out by another vet who specialise in dentistry.
I'm just trying to weigh up the pros and cons really. I don't want Jasper to die under the annesthetic, and I don't know this other vet or heard of his practice.
What do you think is best for him in the long run?
