Lame

This morning Sobaka and Kutse had their annual check-up/teeth cleaning. The vet called a couple hours later to inform us that Sobaka had two broken teeth. His big molars in the back, one on each side. They had chipped from chewing on something hard (I'll get to that in a second) and the roots were starting to rot. So they had to be pulled before infection set in and things ended up much worse. My poor baby! An hour later we got another call. Kutse had a chipped tooth as well. One of her big molars in the back. It was starting to rot and had to be pulled. The molar on her other side had a tiny chip too and will probably have to be removed eventually, but it wasn't severe yet. So both of my furry babies are super sore, can only eat soft food for the next two weeks, and have to be on pain killers and antibiotics for a couple weeks as well. The culprit: hooves. Hooves that we bought them for Christmas. Hooves that they sell in every pet store across America, including Petsmart. The same Petsmart that owns the vet clinic where we bring our dogs. Someone explain to me why the H-E-Hockey stick-Hockey stick they sell treats for dogs that dogs are not supposed to have?!? Not only are they bad for dogs (health wise), but they can seriously harm them! Now my poor babies can never have bones, or any other hard treats ever again, because they don't have the teeth to chew on them! The total from todays "adventures": $842.46. There goes our tax return for this year...
