🦮11.23 Chengdu Vet Hospital: Shadowing a Malignant Tumor (Got Questions in Mind)

I observed a teddy dog with a large malignant tumor in its mouth. The tumor had loosened the surrounding teeth, causing them to die. The veterinarian used tooth-pulling scissors to remove all the inflamed teeth.

I remember Dr. Cedric treating panda cubs' dental inflammation differently. Instead of direct extraction, he used a scalpel to open the surface and removed the teeth with their roots to prevent future inflammation.

Why didn’t the Chengdu vet hospital follow the same approach? Wouldn’t the teddy dog risk future inflammation? Is it a difference between panda and dog teeth? Could it be a procedural error, or do cubs have deciduous teeth that regrow, while the teddy dog’s extracted teeth were permanent?
