Toothy Tails: Vet Dental Spotlight
Meet Luke T!
He was so sweet and super excited to be at VDCA, despite having a super painful mouth. Luke was seen for a condition called Canine Chronic Ulcerative Stomatitis (CCUS, previously known as Canine Ulcerative Parental Stomatitis or CUPS).

Dogs with CCUS develop an immune response to plaque that forms on their teeth. This makes them unable to tolerate the presence of even a small amount of plaque and calculus. Dogs with CCUS will develop ulcers throughout their mouth in the areas that contact the teeth, leading to a tremendous amount of pain and will eventually dramatically reduce their quality of life.

The most common signs are bad breath, excessive drooling, cloudy saliva, pain (seen as grinding teeth, avoiding exam of the mouth, difficulty eating), reduced energy, reluctance to play with toys, and some dogs will even eat less or stop eating altogether.

Treatment for this oral disease is extraction of all the teeth in the areas where there is severe ulceration. Sadly, sometimes this means extracting all of their teeth. In some cases, if caught early and with very committed pet parents, some or many of the affected dogs teeth can be saved. Trying to save their teeth, if the oral ulcers are not too severe, involves daily plaque preventing dental home care and frequent professional dental cleanings under general anesthesia (typically every 3-4 months).

Thankfully, we were able to help sweet boy Luke feel so much better with extractions. He is now living his best, happy, pain-free life, and his parents are so happy his breath is so fresh and so clean now!

Toothy Tails: Vet Dental Spotlight
Meet Jumper! 🐾✨
Jumper had dental calculus, gingivitis, and was missing several teeth. After a thorough exam, we found that Jumper had advanced periodontal disease, causing bone loss and tooth mobility. Some teeth even had painful infections.
To help Jumper feel better, we decided to extract 14 of his teeth. We used special oral nerve blocks to ensure he didn't feel any pain during the procedure and carefully stitched up his gums with absorbable sutures that will dissolve on their own.
One of Jumper's most challenging issues was a large oronasal fistula, which is an opening between the mouth and nasal cavity. This required careful surgical attention. We also cleaned and sealed his remaining teeth to protect them from further damage.
Jumper is now recovering well, and we hope this will slow the progression of his periodontal disease. He's already on the way to a healthier, happier smile! 🦷💙
Let's give Jumper some love for being such a brave pup! 🐶❤️

Toothy Tails: Vet Dental Spotlight

Bega, such a happy delightful girl, had a quarter size firm solitary tumor within her tongue that had been previously biopsied and confirmed to be a rare low-grade type of cancer called a myxoid sarcoma.

Her first procedure at VDCA the tongue mass was removed and sent to the lab. It was confirmed to be a myxoid sarcoma, unfortunately it had progressed to a moderate grade (more aggressive type of tumor) sarcoma with clean but minimal margins. It was recommended on the biopsy report to acquire broader margins with a revision surgery.

Bega was seen for a second procedure to acquire broader margins and the second surgery was successful in reducing the chances of the cancer to regrow. Sweet Bega was recently seen for a three month recheck and she is doing great at home and at this time there are no signs of the tongue tumor coming back!

Toothy Tales!
Rusty was seen for a laterally displaced mandibular (lower) right canine tooth from a previous mandibular fracture.

After his full mouth dental radiographs were performed we found that Rusty would need that mandibular right canine tooth extracted as well as five other teeth.
Check out some of his x-rays!

Rusty was seen for his recheck and his mouth looks great and the extraction sites are all healing well!

This sweet kitty was seen for feline Juvenile Onset of Gingivitis (JOG). This condition affects young cats under the age of two and commonly begins soon after the adult teeth have erupted. JOG is treated by excising the hyperplastic gingiva and removing the plaque and dental calculus accumulation by scaling and polishing the teeth!

"Jodi Reed was extremely knowledgeable and very passionate. I was nervous about Rusty's treatment because he was a special case with a history of a jaw fracture less than a year ago, but Dr. Reed made me feel so comfortable by explaining everything to me and keeping me informed throughout his care. I appreciated that Rusty did not need to have anesthesia multiple times to get x-rays done and THEN the procedure. I loved that they called me after the x-rays were done to make sure everything was going to plan and that we could move on to treatment. I am very appreciative of the amazing care that you guys gave Rusty. It's been a hard year following his jaw fracture in terms of cost and home care. You guys made it very easy to trust you and have helped so much with Rusty's recovery and quality of life. I also love that you do nerve blocks (maybe partly because I do anesthesia), because it made the days after surgery so much better for Rusty and for me than his previous procedures. Thank you so, so much!" - Rusty’s Owner

Meet Mac!
Mac’s owner had this to say after visiting us:
“The office was very clean, I loved that the patient rooms were not your typical vet office setup. The receptionist was very kind, the doctors and assistants were so kind as well, and got immediately on the level of my dog (AKA on the floor since he's little!) Dr. Wood was very clear and honest about the care we would need, the follow up documentation was also very helpful. They communicated very well when he was put under, once during the procedure, once when he was in recovery, and then lastly when he was ready to come home. Our little guy has a lot of problems beyond his terrible teeth, we were very concerned with putting him under, and they made sure to take into account all aspects of his issues and make sure he was safe for the treatment.”

Testimonial Tuesday!

“Dr. Wood was able to explain our sweet Dolly's situation and was able to provide education on general canine dental health and gave me some pointers for the opportunity to provide Dolly with better care at home moving forward. The staff were all patient and kind with my questions and emotional response to her condition. Nichole was informative, clear, and also very warm and friendly. I was highly impressed with the whole of your staff and their dispositions, and I want to be sure that I communicate how much that means to someone facing difficult and costly decisions that involve the care of their four-legged baby. I don't think that the warmth of your staff should ever be understated as a vastly important part of the process. I appreciate the time, attention, and obvious care you all paid to both Dolly and me while we were visiting your office.”

🐱 Update on Baxter and Briggs: Fighting JOG for Healthy Smiles! 🦷

Dr. Wood recently had the pleasure of seeing Baxter and Briggs for their 5-month return COHAT (Comprehensive Oral Health Assessment and Treatment) to combat JOG (Juvenile Onset of Gingivitis). This condition typically affects young cats under the age of two, often manifesting shortly after their adult teeth emerge.

JOG is treated by carefully removing the hyperplastic gingiva and addressing plaque and dental calculus buildup through scaling and polishing. The good news is that many cats, when provided with early, consistent professional treatment and dedicated daily home care, can outgrow JOG.

We're thrilled to report that at this return COHAT, we've seen improvements in their gingivitis compared to their last visit. Baxter and Briggs are on the right path to healthier, happier smiles! 🐾😺

If you have any questions about your furry friend's dental health or need advice on JOG, don't hesitate to reach out to us. We're here to ensure your beloved pets enjoy the best oral care. 🦷❤️

We know how much you care about your fur baby's well-being, and we're thrilled to tell you that Frankie is now on the path to a much more comfy bite.

But wait, there's more good news – Frankie is back home and already feeling the benefits of the procedure! With the malocclusion sorted, Frankie's comfort level has gone through the roof. Your love and care make all the difference in your pet's recovery journey, and we're so grateful for your dedication.

Huge thanks for trusting Dr. Myracle with Frankie's care – you're pawsitively awesome! Remember, regular vet check-ups and taking care of dental concerns are key to keeping your pet healthy and happy.
