Az has poorly toof

Az and Bob have been in for their vaccination boosters.  Az, as usual, behaved like he expected the vet to hit him.

Bob, as usual, behaved like he wanted the vet, the vet nurses, the receptionist, and random people in the reception area, to give him a big hug... Eventually, most of them gave in, and did.

Az has cracked one of his big canine teeth, it has died and needs to be removed.  Vet thinks there is probably a little abcess under it.  On the plus side, I did renew Az's vet insurance this year, as it's still significantly cheaper than Mollydog's so will only have to pay the excess. Which is something.

At the farmer's market on Saturday, I bought some steaks, and the gentleman on the stall then gave me 3 giant beef bones, and a huge bag of gristle,  wobbly bits and offcuts of steak - all free!   The hounds were delighted.  I tried feeding the meaty stuff raw, but it gave Bob the runs (my two have cast iron stomachs!) so I stewed up the rest of it and served it cooked, which they liked very nearly as much.

We have a volunteer to do Bob's homecheck so with a bit of luck he will be able to go home soon! (the people in the vet were asking if he had become a permanent fixture!)

If we didn't live so far apart, I'd but trying to flog you my Dexter beef!

Poor Az. Doggy canines just aren't as strong as they should be, it seems. Badja doesn't have either of his lower ones now. Hope everything does well with both boys.

This was Devon Red Ruby from http://www.shillamillfarm.co.uk/ - very nice too.

Az seems deeply unbothered by his knackered tooth, but as the vet said, better to get it removed early while he is otherwise in good health than wait for him to have a problem.

Thanks for the link. This reminds me, I really must get a website!

Poor Az! I know just how bad a poorly tooth can make you feel.

I have to admit so far he seems completely unbothered by it, but as the vet recommended, it will be best to get it removed before it starts causing him problems.
