I am sorry your little guy. My Nikki was a rescue who was adopted out without badly needed dental care to a lady who couldn't afford it. When I met them Nikki was estimated to be 15 years old. I took him to her vet and after a complete check up and blood work we had the dental done. We knew it was a risk but his teeth were so rotted and he didn't want to eat so there was no choice. He did great but he also had a strong heart. If he is in pain may be see if they can just sedate him lightly and pull the bad tooth out. It may be a lot less expensive and risky and relieve his pain. Just a thought. |
