toby

curled up into a sack of potatoes at the vet after hearing some bad news…

toby’s going to need either a root canal or tooth extraction for his chipped tooth 😔

that means undergoing anesthesia potentially up to 3 times (one for x-ray, one for root canal, and one for crown) 

idek that i’ve gotten anesthesia 3x in my whole life so i feel so bad and so sad that toby has to experience this 😞😞😞

not to mention the $5-7k+ this is going to cost us 😭

not a great day in the toberson household 😢

pupdate on the tooth situation: 

apparently there are only 5 doggie dentists in the whole state and they’re all extremely booked out so the soonest appointment we were able to get for toby isn’t until july 24

and that’s just for a consultation, not for any procedures (even though we already had a consultation about this with our vet)

after that we would need to schedule an x-ray (a much bigger ordeal for dogs than humans bc they need anesthesia to do an x-ray) to determine if the tooth is infected, and finally the actual extraction or root canal procedure 

in the meantime i guess i’ll just be taking toby to find snow as often as possible so he can ice his toothache 😟
