Hi, Jamie and sherpa vet tech here. If you go the route of extracting that tooth, you're going to want to find a specialty center, not necessarily for the tooth itself, but for the anesthesia; because you will want him to be monitored by an anesthesiologist. That's where the procedure gets the most risky. If he has difficulties with his liver, we don't necessarily want him under anesthesia for a long period of time because it's the liver that helps process the anesthesia and work it through the body. So you want him to be monitored closely. Do your research and find a place that maybe is a specialty dental center that has an anesthesiologist that can monitor him closely and knows exactly what signs to look for. Wishing you both the best! ❤

[@T0be100]

Hey hey, vet student here, 100% agree with this! You'd have the vet that specialises in dentistry along with an experienced tech crew and another vet that specialises in anaesthesia monitoring Sherpa due to his health issues and age. I'm not in the UK but the vet school I go to has this capability, maybe ask your local vets about the nearby University programs if you can't find a dental specialist in private practice? At least where I'm from the specialist teams don't have student involvement, we're just involved in the GP side of the clinic in our final year.

[@audreybrooke7985]

I just think Jamie that tooth pain is the worst ! Your first thought to take it out is the right thing to do. Just find someone who is specially qualified to do it .Please don’t leave poor Sherpa in pain . Hugs x ❤️🇬🇧

[@roslilja]

I agree, my 15 year old grand-dog had similar issues and needed quite a few of his teeth removed due to a difficult inflammation in his lower jaw. The vet recommended surgery after poor results from antibiotics. My daughter chose to first have a heart specialist do a thorough check-up and once thumbs up she opted for surgery, which was performed with extra monitoring during anesthesia. It all went very well and with a quick recovery. I wish I could recommend the vet clinic but it’s in Sweden. Sending my love and wishing all the best for Sherpa ❤️🇸🇪

[@user-yd9lv9ji6x]

My elderly cat just had the same problem - 2 teeth needed to be taken out but she has liver disease and chronic kidney disease, as well as other digestive issues. The vet told me, in February 2023, that I probably only have 2 years left with her but I still couldn't let her stay in pain. The worry about whether or not she will make it through was real and palpable. She did make it through beautifully and she's thriving at home.

[@MrDadaborgy]

we have a senior dog (12yrs old) had the same problem, vets worried about giving her anesthesia to take some bad teeth out. they gave the same meds painkillers and antibiotics, but in the long run our dog got sicker, and she was in more pain, so vet decided to pull all the rotten teeth, gave her less the anesthesia, pull out the bad teeth, she made it out alive through surgery, after a day she was ok, eating and drinking. no more pains, she went to live three more years.

[@colleenmckinlay2916]

You are such a caring Dad. Here in my town in BC, we do have a specialized clinic that works on animals with chronic health problems. Amazing vets that have cared for our shelties with various critical issues from heart conditions, cracked, infected molar and cancer. All requiring surgical care. Expensive..yes but the care and expertise of these vets is exceptional. Google for similar care clinics in your area Jamie. 🤞🏻

[@cheryllimpert2843]

The entitlement of some people unbelievable. That’s a difficult decision to make. Here are my thoughts on the antibiotic and pain killers. Agree about the effect it could have on his liver in the long run. Now I know in humans taking too much antibiotic your system can get used to them and no longer be effective. I would think that would also happen in our fur babies. If that’s true then it sounds like in the long run he would have to have the tooth extracted. My suggestion would look up on the internet to see if you can find any vet dental specialists. My prayers are with you and Sherpa. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@michellebolen3892]

As a former vet tech GET IT OUT!!! That is so close to the brain and it will literally be playing russian roulette with if that inf3ction could go up in his brain.

I had an old dog and always elected to have bad teeth removed. My vet's office has a special dog dentist that comes in every week, and they do testing before the surgery to check his health. It's risky, but my little guy was always SO much happier and more energetic after the bad teeth were removed. They also clean the remaining teeth while he's out.

[@robertgibbs6154]

As, for the pain relievers, depends which one they use. If it's an opiate, harm to the liver and kidneys is neligible compared to some of the non-opioid pain relievers. I don't know about England, but in America vets are often using buprenorphine. It's milder, lasts longer and comes in liquid for easier administration.

[@Constance8722]

I agree - must have a specialist for Sherpie! I have a kitty with a chronic dental/gum problem and _so far_ she is going along alright with medications. The real "solution" is to have every single one of her teeth pulled out. If that became a necessity, the ONLY option would be a feline dental specialist. (She is 16 years old and that's why I'm using the herbal and homeopathic meds instead of rushing to the surgery. She developed stomatitis, NOT a rotten tooth. If she had a bad tooth it would definitely have to come out right away. Again, *it would have to be a vet dental surgeon who was focused on cats.* It's a delicate surgery in cats.)

My 16.5-year-old Jack Russel has had three dental extractions in the last three years. I know every dog is different so this situation may not be the same as yours but we were advised to manage her pain when she first started showing signs, because she was 13, meaning she was on pain meds and uncomfortable for about a year. It got to the point where both her physical and mental health were declining and we decided to put her in with the real fear she wouldn't make it. Three days after her dental she was bouncing around like a puppy and loving life again. The third time she had an abscess and a few teeth removed and she was back to eating the same night. Obviously always do what you think is best for Sherpa but I really wish we hadn't waited so long to get her in for that first dental. One thing they did to reduce her risk in surgery was to do blood tests first to see if she was fit enough, as she has some growths on her spleen, and then made sure she had plenty of IV fluids throughout the surgery. We have had 3.5 more years with her now and even though she's had to go in for two more dentals and had a grand total of about 30 teeth out she has been so much happier off of her pain meds.

So happy your JRT got through all those surgeries so well. I have a 16yr old JRT and I'm terrified of her getting something that she would have to have surgery for. She has a huge lipoma that we thought she would have to have surgery for but the vet advised to leave it unless it causes her problems. Touch wood it just looks bad but isn't causing her any problems so far. We lost her twin sister 3 years ago of a sudden heart attack that had never showed in any examinations so I'm terrified it could be hereditary and an anaesthetic could cause it.

Jamie, he is an Old Husky. If you leave the tooth in it will re-infect and and stress his liver. You will be giving him antibiotics either way. He is your Husky Child and we all know how much you love him. It's a tough choice no matter what you do. Good Luck to you both and God Bless you.

[@josee123]

Hi guys! I'm sorry to hear Sherpa's not doing so well. My cat had root rot last year and it caused her tremendous pain, which was hard to watch. She ended up having 6 teeth pulled and she was much better afterwards. I'll say a prayer for our dear Sherpa and hope that whatever you decide to do goes perfectly and helps him. Bless you both Jamie and Sherpa!! ♥

[@loribrewster6514]

That is such a hard decision. Poor Sherpa. I know you will do whatever is the best for Sherpa. You always have. You have added years to his life by giving him the best care. I will keep you both in my prayers. It is so hard when our furbabies are sick or hurting.

[@SherpasDay]

It's tricky isn't it 😕

[@Coyo-Tea]

No need to apologise Jamie, Sherpa comes first all the time. Ignore anyone who creates a fuss. I know you will do whatever is best for Sherpa just like you always do. We had a senior Yorkie she was older than Sherpa and she needed an emergency hysterectomy and we knew it was risky but she sailed through it. Sherpa is a strong boy and I would think he would do well too if push comes to shove. ❤❤❤❤

[@keithbates598]

Jaime, I would do what the Veterinarian suggests to do. I think pulling the tooth might be the way to go instead of antibiotics and having a poor liver. Prayers are with you dear Sherpa. You are a beauty, bless you Sherpa and your beloved Dad too.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Joan and Keith 😊😊

[@raffirussell]

Hope Sherpa is getting better. Have a great weekend everyone! ❤

[@SherpasDay]

Aw thankyou Raffi 😊

You're not overthinking. Asking for experts is a great idea. Don't worry about an older video. You take care of Sherpa. We love seeing everything you do.

[@jayneforster5677]

You are such a good Dad to Sherpa Jamie ! He’s so lucky to have you as his Dad and caregiver!❤

[@angelrose3849]

Jamie, don't apologise for anything. You are concentrating on Sherpa's health and that's important. Do what you think is best for Sherpa. You have done so much for Sherpa, more than most people would do for their dog❤. And going to see someone who only specialises in teeth (animals) is not a bad idea.

[@ronnybohneberg2526]

Oh no, poor fluffy Sherpa, what kind of things happen to you. Oh problems in the mouth or with the teeth are absolutely unsightly and the picture Dad showed looked really big. Sherp seems to be a little embarrassed by Dad telling the story about the emergency vet. Don't worry Sherps, it's just normal and there's nothing to be embarrassed about. I understand your thoughts Jamie, every operation has its risks and yes, Sherpy is a bit older. My open and honest opinion, you have a lot of trust in the vet and he always did a good job. Let him do the operation and get it out. Ultimately, you make the right decision and no matter what it is, it is only right and in Sherp's spirit. Get well soon my fluffy friend. Have a great weekend buddy💙👊

[@SherpasDay]

Yea thats what I'm thinking too buddy

[@annettebunce4257]

Totally agree let the vet get rid of it out of the way. Annette❤️🐾🐕

Jamie, God love your heart. I can’t believe people would give you grief because of old videos. I watch your videos over and over, old and new. Pay no attention to idiots like that. As far as a dentist, here in the US we do have special vets for dental work. My golden retriever broke one of her Carnassials and we took her to a specialist. Maybe try a Google search and see what you can find. I believe I’d go for the extraction but I’ll pray for our sweet beautiful boy. Your community loves you and Sherpa, remember that. Hugs from Tennessee USA. 🥰🐾

@@terriweston-br7jf Hi friend. With all of our prayers and Jamie’s love and devotion, we’ll get Sherpa through this. Btw, I’m in Knoxville. Have a fantastic weekend.

[@kathrinekerns8398]

Poor boy. I just lost my dog that I had for 17 years. She was 19 years old. It is like your best friend. I would think having the tooth pulled would be best, but then again who am I. I am sure you will make the best decision. We all love Sherpa and don't want to see him suffer at all. 🫶💕🫶

[@Zee_Zg]

I'm sorry I'm not in the UK so can't tell you where to go exactly, but these two options don't sound like the best thing to do. I'm not a vet, but I volunteer at the vet clinic which is a great one. We have among other things everything to fix the teeth. Taking out the rotten tooth would be the best option, but all things considered, I'd fix his tooth. So your thinking is right, try to find a vet who knows how to do it or as you said an animal dentist or whatever you call them over there 😊 Keeping my fingers crossed for Sherpy, sweet old boy ❤❤❤❤

[@sekenamcmurren2217]

🙋🗽🍎 Sherpa's health is the number one priority! We love you both Jamie! Wishing Sherpa a speedy recovery!💕🐺🐾🧔

[@randiginder7691]

Seeing a specialist would give you a wider range of information. I'm in America and we have specialists for dogs just like with humans as I'm sure you do there too. I have a great vet and she recommended seeing a specialist to get full picture with one of my dogs issues. Only you can make these decisions. Sherpa relies on you and you love him, he is in great hands.

[@gledmonson2243]

Sherpa, our precious pup, I am wishing the very best for you. Your Dad is the best dad ever. We love you.😊❤

The fact that you share Sherpa with us is a gift. I can't believe anyone would give you any trouble. Thank you always for sharing him with us and much love to you both.

[@rosemaryburford7607]

Janie, maybe you could take Sherpa to a veterinarian college. They are up to date on everything new and improved. They will do a fantastic job for Sherpa. ❤

[@chrisonthedrums9955]

Whatever you decide Jamie, we all know it will be the best for Sherpa. Feel better soon Sherpa. We're all rooting for you buddy!

[@sharpeineighbor]

My Shar Pei, Bubba, is also 13 1/2. About two weeks ago I faced the same decision, because some of his teeth had gotten bad. Instead of liver trouble, Bubba has a very bad heart murmur. The vets and I knew it was risky to put him under, even being careful as we were. In the end I decided to go forward with having his problem teeth out. My logic was, even if I lose him under anesthesia, I have to do what's best for him, and that was getting rid of his bad teeth. Choosing to do nothing was easier for me, but it wasn't fair to him. You will make the best decision for you and Sherpie, based on what's right for the both of you. FWIW, Bubba came through the surgery fine, and is feeling better than he has in a long time.

[@debbiehannah4817]

The first person I can think of is Noel Fitzpatrick, but see if your vet can recommend and refer you to. I hope Sherpa recovers quickly xxx

[@ladyjustice1474]

Jamie, I would take the chance and have his tooth removed. Sherpa is a strong pup and has come through before when he had his teeth removed. My sweet angel Sherpa looked so sad near the end of the video. Please give him cuddles, kisses, and belly rubs from me, please.

[@nickelpickle]

Get well soon Sherpa that tooth was gnarly but your a legend

[@SherpasDay]

😊😊

[@sbelitsos1]

Jamie, you are the perfect mate to Sherpa. Your plan to seek a dental specialist is spot on. my dog Chucky is 12 now and he experienced the same situation as Sherpa. he had two teeth and some bone removed. Being a professional mutt, he made a full recovery and I started brushing his teeth weekly. No further problems. He thiks the chicken-flavored toothpaste is a treat and he lets me get his molars. Good luck to you and my second favorite dog!! ♥

[@8SmileyLady]

Poor Sherpie. Mouth pain is awful. Jamie, I agree with your gut reactions. I'd inquire about a specialist then go from there. I recognized that you put on an older video because the new building wasn't there. For someone to complain about that is ridiculous. I like watching anything about Sherpa.

[@lornamackenzie2525]

Poor Sherpie he must have been in a lot of pain. 😢💙

[@maykosmos3559]

Please never apologize for old videos. I love watching them all. You have a hard problem. Might be worth getting it out. My Prayers are with Sherpa. And with you 🙏🙏🙏

[@jeankwal4031]

Jamie, even if I'm from America, a animal hospital usually has a specialist just for teeth. They do here, so I'm sure they have something close! Praying anyways for the both of you!!! 😘🙏

[@sued616]

No one should give you grief your the best dog dad ever sherpa comes first ,sending you both love❤hope he gets better soon

[@user-rq6lc9mq9x]

Perhaps waiting until follow up appointment to see if tooth has changed before making a decision. Finding a specialist whose main focus is teeth would be a good option if you want to remove it. If he takes antibiotics every couple of months, how much damage will his liver incur? I do agree that you don't want to keep adding damage to his liver. Not an easy situation. Well wishes!

[@judithgockel1001]

Jamie, see if you can locate a Vet school. In the states, we can take an animal with that sort of problem to a specialist, and procedures done by the expert are observed by the students. The care here tends to be exemplary, and I’ve seen more than a couple of miracles with this resource. All good things to you and to Sherpie.

[@aliciamcdowell4711]

[@thescifihero1769]

Hey Jamie and Sherps - We've got a 14yo GSD at home, and her teeth have gotten a bit dodgy as well. Our vet here in the US extracted the worse of her teeth. They were really careful during the procedure, monitoring her while she was under anesthesia. To help maintain her remaining teeth - and help with her arthritis, the vet recommended putting her on a combination of medications: galliprant, gabbapentin, and a CoQ10. The idea behind the combination was to help relieve the inflammation and provide a bit of pain relief. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with any vets on your side of the Pond, but when you visit them, see if they'll prescribe those meds for Sherps. Praying for ya'll.

[@ceciliahammarqvist5437]

You do not have to apologize for what or when you post! I'm very happy for everything you post! The tooth looks painful. Getting repeated infections is not good. Better to eliminate the infection but not if there's risk for his life. . Probably the sedation is the bigger risk for him. Try to find a dentist that treats dogs together with a vet. ♥️🥰🙏

[@kathleencowley7772]

Head scratches for our fluffy boy! Big howl for our furry friend!

[@robg9236]

There should be some kind of association of vetrinary dentists in the UK. search for that. My regular vet told me to prepare for surgery to remove his inner ears after multiple serious infections. I found a veterinary dermatologist 5 hours away, made the trip, and was told the condition was manageable with medication. Good luck with Sherpa.

Hi Jamie and Sherpa, I hope you find a specialist for Sherpa. I know here in the U.S. I had to take my dog to a University Vet College Animal Hospital. They had any type of specialist I needed for him, but it was also very expensive. They wouldn't even let him in to be seen until I paid a $3,000.00 deposit. That was in 2006. It is worth the piece of mind to know the specialists were all in the same place and included a surgeon, dentist, anesthesiologist, cardiologist, etc. I pray you find a place like this in the U.K. Sending you both prayers and happy thoughts for Sherpa getting better soon. I can't wait to see him roaming in the garden again, playful and happy!
