She's already been spayed, and I've not discovered that she has high bile acids and don't want her put to sleep/given extra medicine...etc. Ahh, I'm so worried.
Best of luck in whatever you decide to do! |
How old is she?
Many dogs that have high bile acids go under anesthesia and do just fine...Ellie being one of them. Letting the tooth stay and allowing bacteria to build up can lead to problems with the heart, kidneys, liver and lungs. There is really no way around it.
But the vet really does need to know that they are doing. Some will mask down with gas if the dog has a compromised liver and no NSAIDs should be used.
