    I'm just wondering how long it takes for the mouth to heal before I can start getting Freckles use to getting her teeth brushed?

    Found this for you

    "Remember that your companion’s mouth is sore right now, so wait for about a week to start brushing his/her teeth. If your companion had Doxirobe antibiotic resin applied under the gumline, you will want to wait 2 weeks to start brushing. Starting sooner may result in accidentally brushing away the resin! Also, keep in mind that daily brushing is most efficacious; weekly brushing may be no better than not brushing at all"

    Awesome! Thanks Deb. I will have to inquiry if Doxirobe was applied or not.

    To start with, I just want to get somewhat close to Freckles' mouth! :)
