Default Pixie and Roxie have surgery next week

I just got back from the vet. Pixie was in for a recheck on her bad gum disease and after 8 weeks of faithfully wiping, brushing and applying Petzlife her teeth and gums have not improved much. One of her front teeth is also loose and she in only 2 1/2. The vet and i discussed and decided she needed a dental to get it all cleaned up and then I should be able to stay on top of it. She did her bloodwork and it was fine, then she checked Cali for her scratching and we are going to start her back on the Atopica with a little steroid for a few days and see if she can tolerate the Atopica this time. Then I had Roxie with and I asked her about getting her spayed and she prefers to spay prior to heat and we are afraid Roxie is nearing that time so she said she could do both Pixie's dental and Roxie's spay next Tuesday. Now I am a wreck. Pixie will be on antibiotics 4 days prior to surgery and 5 days after, her blood work was good and the vet said she would take very precaution. I keep worrying that maybe I should forget the dental but her teeth and gums are terrible and I would rather get her done while she is young and avoid health problems down the road. Please keep Pixie and Roxie in your prayers, I am soooo scared. Thanks
