Why is my dog struggling to eat, drooling, and losing weight after dental?

Question

My dog had her teeth clean about a month ago. Since then she's displayed difficulty in chewing and listlessness. For the last couple of days, she's been drooling any eaten food source and has lost a few pounds. I've taken her back to the vet where her teeth were cleaned (not her main vet), and of course there assured me that she'll be OK inn a few days...That was two weeks ago. Should I take her back and make them accountable, or to her own to bring back some resemblance of what she use to be? Pet's info: Dog | Maltese | 12 years and 3 months old

I would bring Jazzy back into her main vet. Clearly something isn't right and that needs to be fixed. It's not normal she has been having trouble eating, is drooling, and now has lost weight. It's certainly something that has to be investigated, and I can tell you aren't happy with the vet who did the dental cleaning. You should take her to someone you trust. Your vet can speak with the other vet about what was found during the cleaning to maybe get some insight as to why Jazzy is having these problems. I'd make an appointment with your regular vet as soon as possible. I hope this helps!
