❤️🐾 Meet Prixie! 🐾❤️
A couple of weeks ago, I adopted Prixie, a 15-year-old Pit Bull, from Greene County Animal Shelter. She was found as a stray, underweight, covered in fleas, and with a mass that had ruptured. They gave her the care she needed to address the fleas and had her mass removed, it healed beautifully!
When someone sent me her photo (Thanks, Winter and Danielle!), I got the feels and knew I had to meet her. It took about five minutes for us to know Prixie was coming home with us. ❤️
Once she was home, we realized she was struggling to eat—even canned food seemed difficult for her. Dr. Vargas and I agreed that a dental would make a huge difference in her comfort and quality of life, which is exactly what this sweet old lady deserved.
Five days and seven tooth extractions later, Prixie is a NEW GIRL! 🥹❤️
She is now begging for snacks nonstop, has politely claimed her favorite spot on the couch, and has decided that the space underneath my desk at work belongs to her, too. 😂
Prixie's story is a reminder of just how important dental care is, especially for our senior pets. 🦷🐾
Dogs and cats are incredibly good at hiding pain. Showing weakness goes against their natural instincts, so they may continue eating, wagging their tails, and going about their day even when their mouths hurt. Sometimes, the signs are subtle—a change in eating habits, less interest in hard food, or simply not acting quite like themselves.
Prixie was struggling more than we realized and relieving that discomfort has made such a difference. Age alone shouldn't mean our pets have to live with dental pain. With proper veterinary care, we can help our senior pets stay comfortable and enjoy the quality of life they deserve.
A huge thank-you to Greene County Animal Shelter for loving Prixie and caring for her until she found her way to us. We are so grateful that we get to give this sweet girl the happy, comfortable life she deserves.
We are so in love with you, Prixie. Here's to the next chapter!
