Actually, this is something else I'm curious about. I've seen this come up many times, and I am not particularly familiar with this topic in pets. Why haven't vets changed their protocols if this has been clearly established? I have a difficult time believing that vets would do something they think actively harms pets simply to make more money.

I don't know much about this either, but I've seen that sometimes you can wiggle them out yourself. It turns out I probably could have done that with Thor - he had four baby teeth removed and it was cheaper than I expected because they said none of them had roots.

I'm interested in what people think vets' motives are. Clearly, if you've had bad experiences with vets, you won't trust them, so I understand that. What is the Why behind the What, if you know what I mean?
Thanks to everyone for their responses.
