Actually, one of my human friends almost died of heart disease that was related to her teeth! She had to have a lot of work done on them, and, yes, some pulled, before the heart doctor would even work with her. They thought she was going to die 3 years ago, and now she is much better! Apparently our teeth, and our dear dogs teeth can really affect health!
I used to have my other dog on freeze dried duck patties, the vet said it was not a good idea (his teeth look decent)..with my girl, the previous owner had her on Royal Canin..but everyone rails against how awful that is (except vets) so I’ve had her on the only kibble that was small enough for her to attempt to chew..plus boiled chicken and veggies sprinkled on top. So sometimes it’s dry kibble other times chicken/broth/mush...honestly I don’t even know anymore, vets say kibble is good, one pet supply worker says dry kibble is bad, sticks on the teeth/give em wet food..then another will say the opposite, wet food sticks more, give em dry...🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️😖
Most Vets do not understand the real anscesteral dog diet. Everytime I have taken my dog off of 100% raw, he has had problems. Sadly because of COVID I put him on 1/2 super high quality kibble and 1/2 raw, and his health / energy/ teeth/ etc went downhill. I am now trying to feed him more raw once again, and feeling very guilty that I have lowered his health.
Oh my, I didn't even know they had 22 teeth! I hope they are giving her a short run of antibiotics. Surely she will be feeling much better! Sounds like she will not be chewing on bones
