What do you mean by protocols? I am using Banfield Pet hospital and they have always seemed expert at everything. Frankie had his last dental/neutering/hernia removal/ baby teeth extraction, when he was 1 1/2, and he was fine. 
I know they do bloodwork first to make sure his blood levels are fine.. |
Ellie was five when she had oral surgery and six when she was spayed and had a dental and liver biopsy.
OraVet is a waxy plaque barrier that you spread over their teeth weekly. The vet does the first application under anesthesia. There are no known side effects.
The correct protocol would be doing blood work if it requested, doing surgery on a heated surface because toy breeds lose body heated quickly, placing an IV before surgery so the dog can be given fluids and so a line is in them in case of an emergency, using monitoring equipment and using the right kind of anesthesia. Isoflurane or Sevoflurane are gas and should be used for maintenance. The dog should be intubated. Usually injectable drugs are used just so the dog can be intubated and maintained on Iso or Sevo. One good drug for this is Propofol.
