Oscar broke a molar on Tuesday morning while he was eating his breakfast I had no idea what had happened as at first, I thought he was choking by how wide open his mouth was & using both paws to try & get whatever was in his mouth out. I couldn’t calm Oscar down enough to see what was going on so I got Mr 17 out of bed to help me. Clint couldn’t see anything obvious in his mouth either so we just had to wait for him to settle himself. He did after about an hour. Oscar seemed fine once he calmed down. Then, he yawned & we heard the crunching of teeth 😢
We got Oscar to the vet & she was so lovely with Oscar. She managed to trick him with food (win for the vet 😆) & was able to see the tooth. Somehow, the tooth was hanging by one root. Poor boy was in a lot of pain so he was put on pain meds & sedatives to keep him calm.
Today Oscar is in for surgery to remove the tooth, check & clean all the others. His bloods were done this morning & he’s got a clean bill of health except for a slight heart murmur. I feel much better now knowing he will be ok during his surgery today. I worry a lot about Oscar as he is getting older now. He will be 11 years young in May.
