Howie has been having trouble with his teeth so we went to the dentist and she said that he needs some teeth pulled and a cleaning. We will be taking him in tomorrow and I am extremely nervous since I have been looking online and finding out that some small dogs have died from a procedure like that because of the anesthesia !!! Howie is only 2lbs so I am not sure if I want to risk it but I also don't want him to have further complications with his teeth! HELP PLEASE!
Also the dentist was aware of his small size yet did not say there would any problems putting him under.
