how sweet of you to be so concerned. I've been in that place on YT where I am so exhausted & I have great intentions of doing something important & I'm falling asleep at the computer.
YT is truly a place for us to learn from one another - this thread may make a difference for so many others. You may have not have saved little Skoshi, but your message may make a difference for someone else.
Actually, I adopted my 2 when they were 2 & already spayed/neutered, so I've always wondered why do so many fuss about these surgeries - I've had Bichons & cats go thru it. But these 2 threads have taught me something.
The other reason not to fault yourself about Skoshi, is that I had checked last night to see when she had last been on YT -- I haven't been on much this week & I thought maybe she had posted a thread about being worried about the surgery, but I discovered she hadn't been on YT in weeks, so you see dear Sheilagh, you couldn't have saved sweet Skoshi.
For your little one with the bad teeth, have you tried Petzlife? Bubba's teeth were looking at cleaning & I've been trying Petzlife & my vet said bully sticks would help. Bubba is not a chewer that is one reason the vet said he has teeth that need to be cleaned, but I finally got him to chew the bully stick - he loves the one that Roxy starts

- also, I have used sweet potato chews I think these have helped along with N-Bone Pearly Whites

Hugs to you for being so concerned about all of us & our furbabies
