so my 2 beautiful babies and i made the 30 mile each way trip to our beloved vet of many years yesterday for pre op bloodwork and to discuss the upcoming dentals. putting my babies under has always been so nerve- wrecking!!!! something you do not want to do but know it will benefit them in the long run and must be done to ensure thier health!
*** please send prayers that all will go well!!! ***
we had complete bloodwork done and it came back perfect for both my little girls, we will have an ecg done the day of surgery, they will have iv fluids (and sugars) throughout the procedures, and our vet uses only human grade anestesia. she said she will also keep them together as much as possible while they are away from me. it has been 2 years since zowi had her last dental, we have them done every 2 years in february when my vet's office has dental special month.
**** is there any other precautions that i could take? ****
pixie is a little over 8 months now and weighs 3.2 pounds, and is retaining several baby teeth. i adopted her from a humane society who had already spayed her at 4 months old, so this will be the poor little things second time under anestesia in her short life.
zowi just turned 10 years old in january weighs 10.6 pounds and is in need of a cleaning.
thank you in advance for your responses and or advice! i am so grateful for having this site and the support of all you wonderful yorkie people!
