Is this the norm for most yorkies? It occurred to me, if they lived to be 15, then they would be put under anesthetic 14 times??? Can that be right? |
Peanut just had his first dental and he is 2years old.. I had the vet look at his teeth and he told me to wait a year.. Even at 2 they were not THAT BAD, but I went ahead and did it bc his breath smelt and he did have some build up.. I asked the vet when should I do it again it said wait to see how fast it builds up again... maybe in a year or 2
I would brush her teeth and use some sort of mouthwash "petzlife" in the mean time! =)
I think 2 years is a good age to start, and then go from there
