 Miko had the same problem
Don't worry my little Miko had the EXACT same problem. I did not want to put her under to remove her teeth but my vet assured me it was for the best. Just make sure that your vet knows what to use to put her to sleep. I believe the best sedation method is to use isoflorin (check the spelling)...not gas, like they use on most regular sized dogs. My breeder gave me that information to quiz the vet before the surgery...and he knew what he was doing... just kind of casually ask "so, what do you use to put such a small do under?" any good vet should know...Miko bounced back almost the very next day. He told me that she might be a little drowsy for a day or two..and he told me to soak her food in a little warm water to help it go down a little easier...I was so nervous but she was totally fine. If you don't have it done food will build up in between the teeth and cause major decay...quickly..good luck! |
