We would recommend that you schedule an appointment to have your pet’s teeth cleaned as soon as possible. It will require him to have a general anesthetic so that we can properly clean and polish his teeth. We also can pull any abscessed unsalvageable teeth at that time.

We will send 7 – 14 days worth of antibiotics to get the infection under control and recommend measures you can take to prevent this from recurring. Call if you have any questions. Thank you!
