Bob, you spoke of using various treats instead of scruffing. This works great for nail clipping. But what about teeth cleaning? Rocky's difficult to scruff and very difficult with the teeth. He instantly clamps his mouth shut and always has. He's old now and has insulinoma and a bloated belly, so I don't want to torture him with the teeth cleaning. Sometimes he cries just from being scruffed. And what his teeth really need are some scraping, as brushing isn't going to get the tartar off. If you, or anyone else, has suggestions for easier teeth cleaning, please let me know. Thanks, Shron & Mr. Lockjaw [Posted in FML 5840]
