Always follow your veterinarieans advice regarding
feeding after a canine dental surgery. If your
dog won’t eat at all after his dental
surgery it’s not really something
to worry about. Dental surgery for dogs combines
all the pain and discomfort of a human teeth
cleaning with the ill effects of anesthesia.
To get your dog to eat after dental surgery
you can either soak his food in warm water for
10-15 minutes to make a warm mush that doesn’t
need chewed, or water down canned dog food to
make a slurry. AS your dog heals you can soak
the dog food for less time until your dog is
weaned back onto solid dog food again. If your
dog won’t eat after surgery and continues
this behavior you absolutely need to contact
your vet, as their could have been additional
trauma to his teeth, thus causing him not to
eat.
Despite what you may have been told, annual
dental cleanings are not standard for dogs.
Some veterinarians argue that cleaning teeth
annually can actually have more negative effects
than positive! Anesthesia is difficult for a
dog’s system and there is no reason that,
with proper care, spaying and neutering is the
only time your dog should have to be put under
anesthesia. Here are some tips to help keep
your dogs teeth clean:
-Only feed soft food as a
special treat, dry crunchy kibble playa a vital
role in keeping teeth clean. -Instead of rawhide,
treat your dog to RAW bones. All cooked bones
are dangerous, but dogs were designed to crunch,
chew, and digest raw bones. Thick marrow bones
are the best for keeping your pet’s teeth
clean. -Use a canine tooth brush and specifically made
dog toothpaste to burst your dog’s teeth
once a week. -Use dental toys as treats. We recommend the
dental kong, Unlike a regular kong, the dental
kong has deep grooves you can fill with a treat
or even canine toothpaste. The toy itself will
clean the dog’s gums.
