Wait, hold on....."Hot compressing your dogs butt"?
anyway.....(god, hot compressing)....yeah mouth pain is the worst. fortunately is does heal pretty quickly.
I remember after having some dental work done, I got whatever the pain pills were.
Shortly after I got home, the novacaine wore off...
Now, I never took pills, maybe an aspirin.
I took the pill and laid down on the couch about 1 in the afternoon thinking "c'mon start working. Finally after maybe 20 minutes they started to kick, I remember glancing at the clock.
I laid there for about 15 minutes, thinking about something, when all of a sudden the pain came back. I though "Sh!t! that stuff didn't work" I looked at the time...it was about 6pm.
Had to laugh in spite of myself.
