Kopper needs dental surgery

Kopper was on our Shamrock page a while ago when she needed to have a large mammary mass removed. That procedure was successful, but now we have discovered that Kopper has some dental issues. Kopper's gums bleed when she eats and she uses her paw to swat at her mouth after eating. A veterinary dental specialist has told us that Kopper is in pain. Kopper needs to have some incisors removed. Also, her mandibular canine teeth are fractured and the pulp is exposed. These canines cannot be removed (due to the need to maintain the integrity of the mandible), so they will need to receive a root canal. Please help Kopper to get the dental work she needs so she can enjoy her senior years by being able to eat her meals without pain. We have started a fundraiser to help cover the costs of this procedure. Click here to see how much Kopper has raised and to help by making a small donation.
