I am not familiar with bti or tti testing. Are you sure you have that abbreviation correct? Can you call your vet to clarify? There is no way for me to tell you when she will get back to her old self. That would be impossible for me to do via the internet. Your vet should be able to give you more of an idea. Dogs are just like people and some take longer to recover from procedures than others. A week post operatively is really not that long especially from major dental work. It sounds like you are doing everything you can to help her. Is she getting enough pain medication? Can you post again and tell us what medications she is on? That would be more helpful. Also, what are you feeding her?
