Dog tooth extraction healing - clot failed
Our 6-year old pyr mix had a tooth extraction 11 days ago. We noticed our dog doing a little bit of intermittent chattering after yawning a few days ago. On Monday we sent our vet a photo of the extraction site and she said it looks like there’s a dry/open socket at one part of the extraction and that it looks a little inflamed. Prescribed antibiotics and another round of Rimadyl. The vet said she’s not worried and the antibiotics should take care of any infection and the gum will continue to heal, but I am super anxious and worried. For context, she is eating normally, up and about, not 100% her normal self of course, but was being playful over the last week, and enjoying outside time, is alert etc. No swelling of the face and definitely still food motivated. Can anyone provide reassurance I feel like I’m freaking out a little. Ty 🙏 Update today is Wednesday and it looks to me like her gum has grown in more and the redness is less/gum looks more normal color and less inflamed - but still just worried
