any one know?

just had to make appointment for sash to go vets to morrow ,last year she broke a tooth whilst chomping on wood,we took her to the vets at the time and he said it was a clean break and it should be fine,any ways yesterday i noticed she had smelly breath so took a look in her mouth and the offending tooth looks inflamed and sore .she is eating ok and does'nt seem to be in pain but im worried cos i know they have a high tolerance to pain and id hate her to be in pain.does any one know if i can give her half an asprin or other pain killers??what symptoms would she have if it was bothering her?

I wouldn't give any medication. Book her into the vets, the tooth will have to come out. As you say staffs have a high threshold so would only stop eating if it was VERY sore. Iff it looks sore to you though something obv isnt right, but i do know vets hate to take out teeth so anti-bs might clear up an infection!

i could'nt get to see my vet till tomorrow evening and just hated to think she was in pain just hope she gets anti biotics,was me last week with my teeth now its her this week,hows your tooth now hayley?

Still broken. i havent got the money to go to the dentist this month so just have to deal with it. my tongue is painful though which isnt nice.

ah poor you,hate the dentist,hope its not hurting,vets and dentists are the bane of my life at the mo

nah the tooth itself isnt painful, just the sharp edges of it are rubbing my tongue into blisters

yeah, it happened at the worst time, i had to take kittens to the vet for flea and worm which cost me £20

You can give half an aspirin, but not paracetamol!

Be warned, though, aspirin can sometimes give them a dodgy tum.

thank you caryll,obviously i dont want to give her any thing thats going to make her poorly,i just dont want her to be in pain until i can get her to the vets tomorrow,would she be rubbing her mouth or any thing if it was hurting her?
