Guest guest Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 Hi Brigitte, Only suggestion I have is to keep trying. wouldn't let me do his teeth either for the longest time, but I just kept trying every day and then he finally just let me in! LOL. ) It would always make him gag. He has such a sensitive gag reflex, and still does. He still gags when I do it a good bit, but he doesn't fight me anymore. Just keep doing it. And, don't make a big deal about it and one day she will just let you. For now maybe you could use a washcloth with just water and rub the teeth you can reach easily. That is better than nothing. Eventually maybe you could add a little tooth paste to the cloth and gradually work to the brush??? I used one of the rubber finger brushes for for a long time.
