doggy teeth and hip dysplasia
Sunday, April 30th, 2006 this is hitam… Hitam means "black"… its obvious where he got his name… anyways, a couple of days ago this little guy had a loose tooth and of all the teeth, it was his trusty canine… i gotta admit i was worried for the little guy… hahaha… i had no idea if dogs had two sets of teeth like we humans do… in fact, i havent heard of dogs havin two sets of teeth… so at that time, i was really worried. his toothe was shakin really badly with every breath that he took… i was thinkin that it mustve been by the chewy bone that i gave him the night before…
but then days later, that loose tooth of his just disappeared… and there, in its former place, was a new tooth… hmm… that means dogs DO have two sets of teeth… i didn’t bother askin anyone about it.. i mean i’d hate to go to the dentist and as hey, do dogs have two sets of teeth? hahaha…
i swear i knew nothin about doggy teeth until that experience… i mean i had other dogs before but its the first time that i’ve actually got to know that dogs have milk teeth as well… our other dog yvann, is an old dog and i never go to see if she changed her teeth… but i do know one thing, this old dog aint healthy… yep… she aint healthy coz, she’s got a hip dislocation i think… she can’t move her hind legs… so she learned how to walk with only two legs…. her front legs that is.. but! compared to hitam, this is one fierce momma…. aint no better guard dog than this dog right here… trusty ol’ yvann… and from this dog, i learned one thing, dogs should always be given exercise otherwise, this is what happens… you can’t see it from the pic but… the defect is obvious…. =(
