the final four...

the last of them, pulled yesterday.

 

jones was diagnosed with CUPS some time back and spent a lot of his life on antibiotics because of his mouth sores. our vet finally pulled all but four of his teeth, hoping the front four would keep his tongue from falling out.

but the last ones got horribly infected and after more weeks of antibiotics, the last ones went.

he wasn't feeling so hot when he got home, but he insisted on eating all his dinner. brave boy.

 

CUPS: Chronic ulcerative paradental stomatitis

 

I converted the photo from duo green to black and white. the scan showed 4 bloody teeth.
