Sadly Einstein passed away today. The saddest part is that we actually had his tooth problem under control compared to where we started. We got a solid month of hay and pellet consumption recently for the first time since this started. I thought he might make it for the long haul. We were almost back to normal and things were getting better as each month went on whereas I thought it would get worse each month.
After about 3 months since the last trimming, he went in for a proactive trimming (more trimming was always expected to fine tune things) and the vet nicked an artery. He lost a lot of blood and his heart stopped a few times. They could not bring him back. I got to see him after his heart stopped twice and I think he recognized me. He was checked in for observation overnight and died a few hours after I had to leave him.
I can say that with his particular type of malo (the way his specific bite was misaligned), he had a good quality of life the past several months. His teeth were not growing inward and he never even drooled from it. Yes, we had a few trimmings and most of the time the recovery was not very prolonged with 1 exception.
His death was an unfortunate accident or mistake based on how you look at it.
I appreciate everyone's support here over the past few months.
