Again I apologize that this was not the video I had planned on making today and Marbles is doing really well, it just felt like the right thing to do to look after him as closely as I could today and yesterday after his surgery. Here are some answers to some questions that I know people will ask in the comments: Mr. Marbles is a 10 year old senior chihuahua who weighs around 4.3 pounds. It is very common in not only chihuahuas but of many toy dog breeds to have dental issues, this is due to their teeth being very small, crowed in their mouth, and when food particles get stuck in there it can lead to tartar, plaque, gingivitis, periodontal disease, all kinds of complications in their mouths just like humans. It can also vary in severity from dog to dog, some might have many teeth at an advanced age and some start needing dental work at 1 or 2 years old.

He has had many operations to remove teeth to keep any dental diseases from progressing and keep his mouth healthy. The reason we needed to see a specialist (and shout out to the woman that did his procedure her name is also Jenna and she was just best ever) is because unlike larger dogs (or people) small dogs' teeth are so little and delicate in the back that in some instances their jaw can actually break during these procedures.
