| going to schedule Gizmo's first dental I am going to the vet tomorrow to get a quote for Gizmo's first dental cleaning and i was wondering if there are any questions i should ask? I think am going to request xrays to be done at the time of the cleaning since there could be problems below the gumline that aren't visable. Also does anyone know if he will be intubated during the procedure? When a dog is intubated can it injure their trachea? I worry since Gizmo is only 4 pounds. Thank you! |

| Yes they intubate during dentals. Don't worry, they have tubes of all sizes for the little ones. I would ask what kind of anesthesia they use - isoflurane and sevoflurane are safest in toy breeds. I would also ask if they do a blood panel prior to the procedure. I would not use a vet who did not use isoflurane and do blood work before the procedure.
