Thread: Update on Darcy

Her gums are bright red and inflamed and swollen and her teeth are horrible. They need to be taken out which is what our next step is. She's got some very bad looking teeth even though I brush them 3 times a week. They need to come out as numerous ones are infected

Thank you for worrying about Darcy but we have a plan and I trust our vet with this explicitly. I'm comfortable with what he thinks

By all means, listen to your vet and do whatever you think is best for your baby. But just in case you're interested, red, inflamed gums are one of the classic symptoms of the syndrome described in "Pets at Risk," and is often easily handled with the simple program desribed in the book.

Most vets, unfortunately, know nothing about the deficiency described in the book I mention.

I like Walter Cooncat's suggestion. The book is cheap, but if anyone can get it through the library system, all the better.
