Sushi's Teeth Update

Sushi's appointment at the vet was uneventful - she is up to 221 grams, which is an increase of about 15 grams since last month. So she's still small but growing. If she gets much bigger though, she won't be able to fit under the bell jar.

A smaller Sushi fit easily under the bell jar.

No real news on her teeth. Dr. Nolan did say again that she is the worst case of malocclusion he has seen. She went under anesthetic and woke up again quickly, which made me feel better. She is now seven and a half months old, so at her next appointment she will be old enough for us to talk seriously about pulling her incisors completely. It's a tough call - there are risks involved, but it also means she won't be under anesthetic every month for the rest of her life, which carries a different set of risks.

Sushi with her sweetest face.
