kins2321@yahoo.com Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Ollie is doing well after getting many teeth removed. It was a tough recovery. I never thought it could be so hard to get liquid antibiotics and pain meds into a dog. Even Sophie watched and supervised kept yelling OLLIE! ( I am sure she was just repeating me, but I appreciated her support!) He is now eating his homemade stew, and I know Sophie is loving it too!

Acappella Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 So glad Ollie is doing well. He'll feel better once he's done with all the meds and swelling and stuff, and then it will be a relief having all those sore teeth out of his mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timbersmom Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Glad Ollie has that over with and can get on with life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 Thanks all for the support! Ollie is doing well eating like crazy, and Sophie is happy to have her best friend back. Not only are our greys our best friends, they know when sickness is a threat. Ollie would not have survived surgery two weeks later as scheduled if not for Sophie. She let me know Ollies health was utmost important and I needed to move his surgery up.I did. Now she is treating him like usual, and that is good!

neoow Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Glad to hear Ollie is well. We had a similar issue with our family dog, a german shepherd. He was about 10 when he had to have surgery for his teeth and had to have most of them removed. It was a worrying time for us, as I know it was for you an Ollie. But he pulled through and once he got over the surgery and meds he was back to his old self again. So I was very pleased to hear Ollie is doing so well as I know how stressful it is to be in that situation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 Ollie is doing fantastic! Eating like a pig, now can go long walks with me and visit some of our senior neighbors that I do. I use to worry about him biting, so never took him.Now he loves to come and meet new people. He is a joy for the senior people, and he is enjoying meeting them. NOT that I would ever encourage dog owners to neglect their teeth, which obviously I did, but I am glad he is able to eat and have good quality of life.

neoow Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I'm not sure how much you can do to prevent teeth problems in older dogs. Our family dog Ben had his teeth brushed regularly and had a daily "dentastix" to chew on and he still had teeth problems in his later years which required surgery. Glad to hear Ollie is enjoying his visits with you. Sounds like he's had a new lease of life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywings Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Good news, happy to hear his recovery is great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share Posted May 12, 2016 Thanks all! I am no longer worried about Ollie. Today was the day. Sophie isn't worried either. She was quicker than me to not be concerned. I do respect how greys know something is wrong sooner, and also know when something is right sooner Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murfchck Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Glad all is well! Be sure and give Ollie some doggie ice cream! He deserves some! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted May 13, 2016 Author Share Posted May 13, 2016 I checked out the doggie icecream at Wegmans ( I've checked out everything!). He won't eat it just by checking it out. I know him. He is eating so well... has so many treats brought in by friends and co-workers... he could eat for six months before he starved!

Inara Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Am SO glad to hear that Ollie is recovering so well. No surprise there due to Nurse Rom and Sophie's watchful eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
