Poor Sammy

Sammy spent the day with Dr. Hillary today.  His tear ducts needed flushing and while he was under (the first time he's had any procedure done since I got him nearly 8 years ago) I had her check his teeth too.  His teeth are actually in good shape for a nearly 12 year old but there was some routine maintenance that needed to be done. He had a couple of fractured incisors and one fractured pre-molar - all on the right side.  So I guess we know which side he chews on.  All 3 teeth were pulled.  Oh and she did his toe nails too - Doberman short :)

So tonight my man isn't feeling too good.  He's had pain meds and ice cream (the doctor said soft food) and lots of water.  I'll soak his kibble into mush before I feed him.  There's a crate set up in the living room so he can hang with the family but do it in a man cave, out of the way.  I'm going to go lie on the floor with him for a bit too.

Poor old man.  Getting old sucks.

  2. Hope Sam feels better soon! Wilson has already had a tooth pulled (a couple years back even!) so it doesn't have anything to do with old age, just powerful jaws!
