Crown amputations for tooth resorption

1 week ago | veterinarypracticenews.com | John Lewis

I recently saw a cat named Squishy that was presented to me after its primary care veterinarian performed crown amputations on its maxillary canine teeth due to tooth resorption. Squishy's owner is a non-practicing veterinarian, and when the cat's crown amputation sites dehisced, resulting in decreased appetite, she reached out to me.

The Lyme-positive dog: Is it necessary to treat a blue dot?

Feb 19, 2025 | veterinarypracticenews.com | Erica Tramuta-Drobnis

So, do we treat all 9.55 percent that test positive, even if they are asymptomatic and testing confirms exposure but cannot tell us which ones will, if ever, develop clinical signs?
