ETS happens for many reasons in greyhounds. Losing teeth does not help. Stanley lost a couple of teeth on the same side after his last couple of dentals.
But Alle had to have all her teeth pulled as she is allergic to her own plaque/tartar.
I've never heard of that either. Also, it never occurred to me that teeth help to keep the tongue inside their mouth, lol! Poor Alle. No toofs at all now :( At least she will feel much better without them even if she can't have bones any more.
I wish I could look this cute with little or no teeth. Now there's a post...What do you feed a dog with few or no teeth? I never hear Freedom or Casper chewing. They just seem to inhale their kibble, so I imagine I wouldn't have to change their food.
Allergic? Oh, poor baby! Give her a hug for me!
ReplyDeleteOh My, sending pug hugs to Alle.

Silly allergies!! She is still a good lookin' gal!!
ReplyDeleteNever heard of that before. Sending positive healing thoughts and gentle hugs to (((Alle))). Lots of extra tlc and she'll be fine.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of that before. Never mind Alle, that pureed meat is so much easier to suck up :)

Awwww.....poor baby!
ReplyDeleteI have heard of some greys being allergic to the plaque/tartar. Bowser is almost 3 and his teeth and gums are horrible!
ReplyDeleteWow I'd never heard of a hound being allergic to their own plaque/tartar. Still, they are SO cute when their tongues hang out.
ReplyDeleteWhat is ETS? The dogs look wonderful anyway!

ReplyDeleteI've never heard of that, either! How did they diagnose her?
ReplyDeletePoor gal. She is still gorgeous though, and can now pull off a spectacular ETS!
Look at that floppy tongue! Love it
ReplyDeleteLove the ETS syndrome, it is so endearing. :)
