We took Bella to the vet the other day after Bella's cheek swelled up to the size of a marble (that's big on a chihuahua's face). At first we thought maybe Bella got hit by something (Lizzy) but the swelling never went down. Turns out Bella has a tooth abscess which is causing the swelling in her face. She had her dental surgery today and had a total of 10 teeth come out!! Bella was only suppose to have 1 tooth out the vet came across a bunch of loose teeth that had to go. According to the vet Bella had already lost 4 teeth on her own. Turns out Chihuahua's genetically have terrible oral health and losing teeth is common even with brushing and flossing everyday. Something I did not know so I was shocked to hear Bella lost 10 teeth. Bella gets to eat soft food from now on and get her teeth brushed daily.
That is crazy!! Hehe, was she doped up in the bottom picture?
