Hi, I just got a dog that has been in my moms care for a good while. She has a horrible infection in her mouth and her gums are inflamed. I desperately need to get her help, but I am scared of the pricing for dental work on pets. Please help.

Hi, yes Mimi is going to need several teeth extractions. Unfortunately poodle are very prone to dental disease. You could start to see a vet to have some antibiotics that will help against in the infection and discuss costs and if excessive wether they have payment plans. Hope this helps !
