I just had that conversation (about the fluids) with my husband a few days ago. I know that in the past, when our Chihuahuas had dentals, they would give them fluids - I remember seeing it on the bill too in the breakdown of cost. But I didn't see that on Oli's estimate this time, so I had planned on asking the vet about it this morning when I take her in.
Getting ready to leave in just a few minutes. Thank you for reminding me of that.
My oh my...so nervous. I guess it goes along with being a furbaby owner and lover. I will keep you posted once I get the call that she is finished.
