The vets have told me at Asher's last two yearly checkups that he had dental problems and I really should think about bringing him in for a dental cleaning. The stench of his breath had me inclined to agree that something wasn't quite right in there. So yesterday morning, in he went.
Eleven hundred dollars and twelve extracted teeth later, and his dental problems should be pretty much solved. If for no other reason than he doesn't have enough teeth left for much else to go wrong. :-P
