Not sure how the Russian dentist did it with no blood, unless the root had dissolved on its own, but you'd wonder why that happened. Not using anesthesia isn't always done for the safety of the pets, sometimes it's withheld because it's expensive. There are some vets who will castrate dogs without the benefit of anesthesia. I’m sure you could pull a tooth without anesthesia, but it seems inhumane to me. This site talks about anesthesia free dentistry and why it’s not as good. |
Actually not Razzle needs no teeth pulled now - he had two baby teeth that required pulling. He was ~9mths old at the time, and they were loose baby teeth.
Wow I've never heard of a vet who will castrate dogs without aneathesia!
Thanks for your response.
