@w2y7q7irgaxu: My dog developed severe kidney failure because dental tartar was left untreated for too long, and in the end he could not pull through. At first he only had yellow teeth and bad breath, but I paid no attention and failed to keep up with regular dental‑cleaning routines. Bacteria from his mouth damaged his kidneys through the bloodstream. By the time I noticed something was wrong, it was already too late. In the early stages, he only ate very little, drank more water and was lethargic all day. I thought it was just the heat. I never suspected kidney damage and failed to give him timely oral care. The first vet advised me to stop treatment, but I would not give up. I took him to another clinic to try every possible measure. He only lasted one day and his condition kept worsening. I did not want him to leave me, yet I could not bear watching him suffer non‑stop from the illness. I went through terrible heartache. Anyone who owns a dog should clean their pet’s mouth regularly. Do not underestimate dental tartar: oral‑health issues can trigger life‑threatening kidney disease. Do not end up full of regret and guilt like me 😭😭 #petcare#dogcare#dogoralhealth #dogteeth#dogbrushesteeth
