Why not? Friday,April 18, I found what I thought was a paint chip on the rug. This was AFTER I attempted to brush Sunny's teeth and she moved away. I went to get my glasses, found said "chip" and the light went on....uh-oh. Sure enough, it looked like the enamel from her right carnassial tooth. Saturday a.m. I call the Vet and get told to bring her in on Monday since Dr.MacTaggart is the dentistry Vet. Sunny seems no worse for wear so we wait it out. Monday I get told she needs either the tooth to be repaired,extracted, or left alone until something happens (infection). That was not an option so we get an appointment to a Specialist in Guelph. Friday,the 25th, Barb(thank God for Barb) and I head out to Guelph with Sunny for a 3:30 appointment. Long story short: she took off the enamel 3ml below the gum line but fortunately, the tooth was able to be saved. She had a root canal which was done while Barb and I killed some time at the Mall we were at only 2 weeks before with Bandit. Sunny survived the surgery. So did I. She slept all the way home and we got here at 10. Sunny is back to her self. No more nylabones or tug of war. I got complimented on her good dental health (haha). Enough is enough...Barb and I have decided NO MORE ROAD TRIPS. Dr. Hale is a super Vet:)
