| 7 year old with bad teeth My little Heidi's teeth which I clean at least every two months with the special metal cleaner and take off all tartar, has loose upper and lower teeth. The veterinarian gave me an antibiotic and told me they had to be cleaned.I am really scared because she isvery tiny and I am afraid of the anesthesia they him them to clean the teeth. I know that if I leave them as they are she can get even heart problems because of infection. Any advice? thanks |

| I would make sure of the procedure and that you understand. It is important the tubing is done properly so the trachea is not injured. Diseased teeth cause so much toxicity in their system and stresses the heart. If you trust your vet, then she will be okay. Warmly, Deborah

| teeth Well I have had this vet for more than 7 years and has taken care of all my yorkies. The only time I felt somewhat doubtful was when he recently neutered my 7 year old Benji (brother of Heidi who has the bad teeth). After the surgery it seemed like the swelling did not go down so I had to take him again and did the surgery a second time. He said there was a cyst he had to remove. Besides the neutering of both my boys, I haven't had any other surgeries done. what do you think? |

| If I were you , I would go for the teeth cleaning by your vet . Why risking to have future complications ? |
