Love them dogs

[Doc45]

Ziva gets her yearly checkup on Saturday. I know the vet is going to recommend a teeth cleaning. At 11 yrs I don’t want to put her under anesthesia again. I’ll just keep brushing her teeth.

If you do decide to get a cleaning, I would at least wait until Feb, when it is National Pet Dental Health Month. Most places offer great discounts then.

You remind me that I need to start working with the dogs and their electric toothbrushes. I?m going to try to get them used to it, so they get a better brushing at home.

I’ve had great luck giving Calvin an occasional bone (especially elk scapula, if you can get it from a game processor). After crunching for a while, his tarter is gone.

Fentonite, you have seen the pup since he was a little guy. This is what he looks like now.

Wow! What a handsome boy!! Thanks for the update.

Looks like a publicity pose for a dog 'Jersey Shore' type reality show. The single muscle toned guy the girls swoon over.
Nice picture!

What did you sedate her with?

It was Diazepam, recommended by the vet last time in order to try and get her to calm down for visits and nail trimming. Doesn't work on this girl, she's a total asshat when it comes to messing with her feet. We don't understand why, we spent time with her when she was little messing with her feet trying to get her used to it, but it never settled with this dog. In another thread I mentioned getting sliced up on my arm today because of her claws. I wish we could get her to accept maintenance on her feet without all the hassle.

Our GSD gets snarly about his feet too. Try to get him used to it, but he's having none of it.

Reba does great with letting us and the vet techs work on her feet.

Hard one is trying to put gel in her eyes twice a day for the rest of her life or until she finally goes blind. First eye is usually easy, second eye is a challenge.

Can you do both at the same time?
