So did he have any extractions? Pain meds? How is he in himself, and eating? Was he put on antibiotics?
Arrows was back to being himself days before the dental. So, I think there was something else also going. I'll yap about that later.
The vet talked
a lot about one tooth in particular. I got a good look at it, before the dental. It had resorptive (resorption?) issues. According to the chart I posted... 3 teeth were extracted.
Yes, I was given pain meds for Arrows. Buprinex. I squirted it into the side of his mouth... half of the syringe on each side. I was given 5 syringes. Arrows was a willing participate for 3 doses. He wanted no part of the last 2 doses.
No antibiotics.
Arrows was pretty "off" for several hours, after we got home. I kept him (alone) in a bedroom with me the rest of the day. He was cute... he laid next to me with his head on my pillow. We both took a nap. I didn't have the heart to move him to the foot of the bed.
He goes back for a check-up in two weeks. First time either vet suggested a check-up, after a dental. I think it is a good thing. I won't have to wonder or assume all is well... I will know!
