Hi, Im new here but I could use some help. My little girl is 9 months old.
she was spayed last week, but the vet would not remove her baby teeth. He said he was not comfortable with how small her jaw is and wants me to see a special dentist. Has anyone had to do this? Is this common? I have always been told that they normally just do this with a spay or neuter. She weight 2.5lbs and has had no heath problems at all. The dentist is a couple hours away. Should I just try a different vet? We know she needs this done because her breath could kill someone. Any help would be great.
