Fergus day at the Vets
Aug. 18th, 2008 09:47 pmAs I've mentioned many times before, Fergus is having a tough time teething. When two of his baby canine teeth refused to fall out when the adult teeth came in (for over a week), I decided to see what the Vet recommended. So, he was to have some teeth extracted, he ended up needing 5 baby teeth removed. The vet was so happy we went ahead and had this done because the baby teeth not falling out thing isn't too uncommon and if not taken care of can cause big problems later.
Since he was there and going to be sedated, they did the x-ray testing for hip dysplasia and the Vet thinks he will be just fine. He wants to test him again at 1 & 2 years old, but if they stay as they are, he should be fine!!! This is HUGE good news! Rochester was in pain from fairly early on because of his hips, I'm so glad Fergus might be spared some of this!
He is very sleepy and still has painful gums, but he'll FINALLY be past the teething stage!!!! Yipee!
He sat in the front seat all the way home, and when I got out and went around to let him out of the car, he tried a new trick.
