Leen Verhaert, DVM
Summary: The malocclusion of lingually displaced mandibular canine teeth is a common orthodontic problem in the domestic dog.

Or is it just a case of giving a dog a bad name?
Just think with all those doggone teeth gone, its bark will be worse than its bite? no! ;)
Cheers Arthur
It would be nice if its bark was worse than its bite! :D My wife's arms and legs are covered in bruises.
I bought a kit from the UK to fit a new head unit into the P38A. One of these. It had faulty soldering on one of the leads under the heatshrink.

Remember that we got a replacement dog from Guide Dogs that turned out to have faulty teeth. She is now 7 months old.Quote:

It is, we are told, congenital.
We'll go to see Guide Dogs NSW tomorrow but I suspect they will put her down. A guide dog would need to be in perfect health and not have leg problems. Whether they'll suggest she'd be OK as a companion dog remains to be seen. I'll miss the little beast - she's my shadow at home.
You could keep her.:angel:
Not unless they pay for the operations. :(Quote:

I was surprised when the vet said they don't put them down, they fix 'em up. They've only ever put one dog down. I'd have thought that they'd make an economic decision - I would have.
Hmm, it seems the little dog needs more work and they are going to keep her at Guide Dogs for a month. She needs an another op on the other rear leg plus one on a front leg. She must have been in a fair bit of pain to not be able to walk up two steps at home.
They will be giving her physiotherapy.
get well soon little pup so you can get back to ripping up uncle rons garden. :D
