I have bad tooth abess so I have been using home remedies ( crushed garlic) until I can get to dentist. I always wash my hands before n after I handle girls. But I can't get rid of garlic smell in my fingers.
I went to pick her up this morning n she hissed at me (1st time ever) then ran n hid under blinky. She literary forced her head under blinkys belly.
It's either the garlic smell of she scared of my swollen face.[emoji24]

Aww. Poor kiddos, and poor you! When my boyfriend had an abcess, he used peroxide mouthwash in the morning, and warm water with natural sea salt in the evening. Also dabbed some tea tree oil on it, since it's a natural antiseptic. I hope you feel better soon!

I'm sure she'll get over that when you no longer smell like garlic :) definitely too cute that she hid under Blinky. Those two really are two peas in a pod!

Poor girl. You could try rubbing a lemon on your fingers. I also heard that colgate toothpaste may help get the smell off. Please don't mess with a dental abscess especially if your face is swollen. The bacteria will get in your bloodstream and affect your eye and even your heart. you need some potent antibiotics and most likely the tooth needs to be extracted.

I work in a dental office

She doesn't even get that excited when I get home from work after not seeing them for 14 hours lol I would have recorded it but I was laughing to much.

Glad you got the tooth looked at! They are so funny when they get that excited to see you. Dexter did that once, I came in the room and the minute she saw me she ran to the glass, I was so happy but then realized she needed to poop!
