Personally, I think that my vet is way way overpriced. over $400.00 for his neuter alone. So I got a new vet, and we seem to have similar outlooks on things.
As far as pain goes, I think Nubi is a real little trooper, and tolerates well. He is willing to let me do anything too him. I manipulate the molar every day and it is getting looser, I think I will start doing this with the canines and see from there. Is it common for people to wiggle out these teeth themselves?
