TL;DR. Vrlo cesta bakterijska infekcija potpornih tkiva zuba; bez njege: upala, bol i gubitak zuba.
Od plaka do teske upale i razaranja tkiva.
Što je to?
Parodontitis gingive, ligamenta, cementa i alveolarne kosti. Plak mineralizira u zubni kamenac; gingivitis reverzibilan, gubitak kosti nije.
Uzroci i čimbenici rizika
Slaba higijena, guzva (toy, <20 lb), meka prehrana, dob i imunitet.
"The size of the teeth does not decrease proportionately with a reduction in the length or width of the bones containing them (Stockard, 1941). The result is crowded large teeth in small mouths predisposing toy breeds and breeds smaller than 20 pounds to a higher incidence of periodontal disease."
Znakovi
- Hiperemija ruba gingive (kardinalni)
- Zadah, nelagoda, recesija (cesto)
- Povremeno: disfagija, salivacija, gubitak zuba, oronazalna fistula

Recesija gingive i crvenilo ruba kljucni su pokazatelji.
Kako veterinari dijagnosticiraju
Pregled budan ogranicen. Pod anestezijom: sondiranje i oralni RTG (zlatni standard).
Mogućnosti liječenja
Profesionalno ciscenje (COHAT): scaling, poliranje, ekstrakcije. Potporni antibiotici: Amoxicillin, Clindamycin, Metronidazole (ne zamjenjuju ciscenje).
Prognoza
Dobro uz njegu; kronicno dozivotno; izgubljena kost se ne vraca.
Prevencija
Dnevno cetkanje pastom za zivotinje, VOHC proizvodi, godisnje kontrole.
Kada zvati veterinara
