@Franke_Dogg is a twitter patient of ours and he is having his teeth cleaned today.  He is a 5 year old, neutered male, dachshund. He developed IVDD (intervertebral disc disease) last september and has not much use of his back legs.  He is starting to get more use of them everyday.  Just not walking like he used too.  But his teeth developed a lot of tartar on them and it became time for his annual teeth cleaning. 

We are doing extensive blood work to make sure he is ok for anesthesia and if he is we will scrape that tartar off his teeth.  Then he will have pearly whites and good breath again. 

If you want to follow his story and you are on twitter his twitter name is @frankie_dogg and his momma's twitter name is @katebuckjr, who is writing his story.


He is so far so good.
