Toothcare

by Maggie Hutzell
(Lincoln, Ne.)

Our Mini Aussie is going on 11 years old and to try and keep her occupied during apartment living I was in the habit of giving her hard or rawhide chew sticks. Well... now her top two longer canine teeth are broken off. Our vet doesn't seem to be too concerned and said that until we see signs of infection like a pouch under each eye we don't need to do anything. Ouch! In my mind that would be painful for it to get to that point. Does anyone have any ideas on whether I should just go ahead and have them removed?

Thanks in advance for any help I receive.
