I agree
Just got Mickey & Max done today.
Max did great.
Mickey's heart rate went to 60
and the vet gave him a shot of Atropine.
It is the scariest thing to hear. But I know he was in good hands.
He is back up and playing with hi favorite "Ducky" (as seen in his avatar).
You can't get between the teeth and below the gums like a vet can.
