Simone will have at least one tooth pulled on Tuesday, May 13th. Whether the count remains at one or inches up to 2 or more will be determined by the x-ray the doggy dentist takes after they anesthetize her that morning. If any of her other teeth are questionable, we've consented to allowing them to remove whatever they feel is necessary since we don't want to have to put her through this more than once. Sounds like it will be an all day thing, so we will drop her off early (7:30 am), and then pick her up at 4:30pm. It's a bit scary, and we worry a little about the inherent risks involved with medical procedures requiring anesthesia, but we're hopeful that everything will go well and that this will put the kibosh on any future medical problems that could have stemmed from not treating it.

Simone's Going to the Dentist
Just when you think you've heard it all...
Miss Simone now needs dental work. She broke a few teeth awhile back chewing on various bones, and now the teeth stumps are looking infected.
So, she has an appointment with a doggy dentist on Friday afternoon. It's the kind of thing that we can't not take care of...infected teeth can lead to serious systemic problems. And, as her little medical mystery is still unsolved, we'd hate to trigger it again or cause her to start having kidney or heart problems. So, our poor girl will likely be having a couple teeth pulled in the near future!
Hopefully THIS will be the last thing. We hope, hope, hope....

Simone's Birthday
Yesterday was Simone's birthday. She's eight, and it's such a welcome birthday celebration. If it hadn't been for the vets at OSU, she wouldn't be here to look at me with disdain as I tried to get her to pose with the hat and cupcake :) She didn't get to eat it unfortunately, but I baked six dozen cupcakes for the vets and students at OSU's vet hospital where she spent ten days in the ICU. Simone and Gary went and took them to them yesterday to say hi and thank them again for healing our girl. She certainly wouldn't be here now without their care and expertise!
