Re: Molly, 10 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis
So I used the PetzLife peppermint spray on molly's teeth tonight. I am going to give the gel a try in the morning. I'm amazed the little miss let me spray her teeth but she did, then she ran around snorting for a bit. Didn't seem to really mind it all too much and did some lip smacking .
The first time is always the easiest. The next time they're ready for you. LOL
She knows that I tend to go poking around in her mouth though taking a look at her teeth. She doesn't particularly Like it, but I guess she just thinks it's one of those weird things that mom's like to do. hehehe
Stay tuned, this is bound to be interesting. :)

Sharlene:
I must have missed something here. Is there a specific reason beyond bad breath that Molly is getting the peppermint spray? I was surprised when Tipper left me spray in her nose that time when the vet suggested that nose spray. I think at times they do realize we are struggling to help them! Blessings

Hi Patti,
It's a reduce tarter spray that Lisa says she has been using for years with her dogs and that it works, so I'm trying it.
I bought the peppermint but it comes in other "flavors"

I think I may have to try some of that spray Sharlene. Im going to look into it. Trixie is a total pain and doesn't let me get in to those teeth with anything lately. :D I feel like I might be able to hold her mouth open long enough to give a quick spray...until she's figured it all out..like you said! ;)
Did Molly's tummy calm down? Everything back to normal??

Molly's tummy Was normal again yesterday morning. :)
However, then we got the HUGEST thunderstorms ever, flooding, power outages.
It is a mess here still and Molly was terrified and I couldn't calm her down. I tried bathroom, etc, then our basement started leaking in one area and molly followed me downstairs. I couldn't keep her upstairs, so I was trying to take care of that and hold her in one arm. Fun times.
Finally hubs got home and she was much better with him. I think my nerves were shot too, so it was making her worse
Of course then we had the runs this morning. Hopefully today will be better. We at least have power back at our house now.
Hugs,
Sharlene and molly muffin

Oh Sharlene! I saw the weather reports from Toronto on the news first thing this morning. Hope all is getting better today. Those floods looked terrible!! Poor Molly....the weather has such an impact on the pups.
Glad you are back on the grid...hope things are settling down with Molly.

Hey Sharlene, best of luck with the teeth stuff, sounds interesting, and also glad that Molly's tummy has calmed down, now if we could just get the weather to be nice, hugs!!
Re: Molly, 10 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis
Crikey, you sent the weather to me Sharlene!! It is bucketing down here, I will not be surprised if we have flooded areas tomorrow as well. How scary for you though with the power going out. Flynn is like Ho Hum... can't do much about this and has taken himself to his bed and off he goes to sleep! But we had quite a sharp earthquake a couple of days back, I did not feel it as I happened to be driving at the time, but everyone said it was a nasty one. Not stuff falling over nasty but quite a jolt nonetheless. In the past earthquakes have not bothered him, but Dad said this one made him leap up and run towards the door so it must have given him bit of a fright :eek::eek: But apparently a pat of reassurance from Dad was all he needed and he was right as rain!
