Patient Information
Name: Lotte
Age: 7 years old
Breed: Cavalier X
Gender: Female, Spayed
“It is unusual to see such advanced periodontal disease in a dog Lotte’s age.”
Presenting Problem
Lotte presented with severe periodontal disease and significant halitosis (bad breath), leading to concerns about her overall oral health and comfort. Due to the severity of the condition, prompt intervention was required.
Diagnostics and Treatment
A full diagnostic work-up, including dental radiographs, revealed the extent of Lotte’s periodontal disease. After careful consideration, the decision was made to perform full mouth extractions to resolve the problem and restore her quality of life.
Outcome
Lotte recovered well from the procedure with no complications. Her owners noticed a significant boost in her happiness and behaviour, and her appetite returned to normal. The severe halitosis also cleared up completely, making her much more enjoyable to be around.
“Lotte recovered well from the procedure with no complications.”
Client Comments
“I was referred to Dr Aaron Forsayeth by my local vet, and from the moment we met, his friendly and knowledgeable approach put me at ease. Even Lotte wagged her tail for him—she had never done that for a vet before! I felt completely comfortable proceeding with Dr Aaron’s recommendation for full mouth extractions.”
“The team kept me informed throughout the day and followed up the next day, which I really appreciated. Lotte recovered quickly and was thrilled to see Dr Aaron at her one-week check-up. The care we received was exceptional, and I highly recommend Dr Aaron and his dedicated team.”
Veterinary Comments
“It is unusual to see such advanced periodontal disease in a dog Lotte’s age.”
“However, her immune response to plaque, combined with anatomical factors such as overcrowding, made her especially prone to severe periodontal issues.”
“Full mouth extractions were the best course of action, and we are pleased with Lotte’s excellent recovery.”
