This is the information I got from the vet. The vet recommended feeding canned food for Margot's whole life. I'd really rather get her started on raw and under normal circumstances think it would be best, but I'm not familiar with the breed and their usual problems so thought I would ask y'all. This is the email.
So, would raw be a good idea with her gums, "tooth resorption", and bone loss?
She did great for her dental today - the canine tooth that was fractured was extracted, and I did extract one incisor that was loose and painful. Being a bulldog, she has a lot of "extra gum" growth, sometimes covering the teeth. She also has early signs of a dental pathology called "tooth resorption" on most if not all of her teeth. This is not an indication for extraction or anything further at this time, but I would recommend at least annual dentals and x-rays for whoever adopts her in the future. I also charted 5 teeth that have some early bone loss at their root furcation and should be monitored annually.
