She was in need of a dental, after her vet suspected she had 2 abscessed upper rear molars (based on visual exam and smelling her breath), and having suffered with hot garbage breath for the past year. Yesterday was her dental appointment. She's almost 12, and had a good dental 2 years ago with no extractions or concerns, just the cleaning. Well, I expected her to lose maybe a maximum of 4 or 5 teeth, because from the teeth I can see regularly, her front teeth between the canines all looked excellent, like little straight rows of bright white grains of rice. So... she ended up needing SIXTEEN (out of 42) teeth pulled!!! She still has her 4 canines, but all her little rice teeth are gone. She looks SO different to me, and it makes me sad. I am glad her death breath is gone, but I am in shock that she needed so much done. I'll try to get better pics of her gummy vampire smile once she's more healed. I've attached a few pics of her with her little teef showing, and a blurry pic of her now with just fangs.

*I am grateful she's probably feeling a lot better, more comfortable, and won't have to worry about her bad teeth (that I couldn't see) causing heart problems, thus hopefully leading to a longer, healthier life. She is on pain meds for the next week, but I couldn't give them to her until this morning. Last night she cried and howled until 5 AM. I finally gave her some trazadone, and she slept until 9:30 AM, and woke me up with the howling again. I've never heard her sound SO sad! I've got her snuggled up in bed with me, and we are going to nap today! 💜🐾💜

The first thing you see in the morning living with a Pekingese...

My breeder just told me that Pachi loves string toys. I think it’s so cute he is old enough now to love smth🥺

His instagram is @pachithepekingese in case anyone wanted to follow him and see him grow!

Anything you'd add for folks who might be considering a Pekingese?

We'd love for this community provide advice to any prospective dog owners who are looking to do research prior to adding a Pekingese to their homes.

Hi everyone.

I noticed that my dog now has a lot of dark skin marks or birthmarks all over her body.

Is it normal?
