🐾 - Meet Eddie 🐾
Eddie, an irresistible eight-year-old Chihuahua–Miniature Pinscher mix, arrived to us with dental disease so advanced it wasn’t just tartar and plaque. He had tooth resorption, where the body actually begins to break down parts of a tooth, causing pain and weakening the tooth structure. This finding meant this wasn’t a simple cleaning; our team had to plan every step to keep Eddie safe and comfortable.
Thanks to our community giveback initiatives like the program, and working with his owners, Eddie’s dental procedure was scheduled without delay. Our incredible veterinary team at VCA Canada Riverbend Animal Hospital expertly addressed the resorption, delivering almost instantaneous relief. His recovery was smooth and swift, and his family tells us he’s already back to greeting every moment with a happy wag and bright smile!
Nothing lights us up like seeing a senior pup finally take a pain-free bite, and moments like Eddie’s first comfortable chew remind us exactly why we do this work.
Here’s to brighter smiles and healthier lives!💙
