@noah_and_lincoln: (‼️the last slide is a video of the 🦷‼️) First, I want to say THANK YOU so much for all the support, love and prayers for Noah. 🥹 I share these tough moments in case others go through similar situations and know what to expect. If you missed it, on 1/11/25, Noah woke up with the right side of his face swollen. After going to the ER, they tentatively determined it was a tooth abscess. Noah’s follow up appointment with his vet, Dr. Shepherd, confirmed it. Yesterday, Noah’s tooth was extracted. 😖 .. Basically, from the side of the tooth, you could not tell it was infected. You could only see that it was fractured/cracked at the surface level. Once a dental X-Ray was completed, you could see the tooth was infected at the root. It was attached to three roots, 2 in the front and one in the back. It was a significant extraction with slicing each root individually, which is what you see in the video. Once removed, the gum was cut and flapped over the bone, securing it with sutures that will dissolve in about 3-4 weeks. Dr. Shepherd repeated an X-ray to make sure the bone received no damage. 🥳. .. Noah came home and whined and panted as expected from the anesthesia. He ate his dinner last night, breakfast this morning, pooped and peed. He slept through most of the night and continues to sleep. His legs are still a little wobbly but should return to normal soon. 🥹 I’m so happy our boy is home and will be back to normal in no time. .. What caused this crack on his tooth? We have no idea. I’m mad at myself because this could have been prevented. I didn’t take Noah for a dental all last year! 😞 My intent was to give him a non-anesthesia cleaning and never scheduled it. This is all my fault. Noah should have never been in this situation. But, again, I’m sharing this so others can learn from it. Don’t beat me up, as I’ve already done and will continue to do so. Check your dog’s teeth frequently, along with any other part of their body. You can’t do it enough. ❤️ ❤️❤️ #dogvideos #doghealth #doglife #dogmom #dogsoftiktok #seniordog
