Some Advice Please!! |
You want the intubation bc you want the medical team to always have access to that airway, should something occur where it was needed. I also always encourage people to give IV fluids during any surgery bc the venous access could be needed in an emergency - plus, it supports hydration for after the surgery. The vet will have very small tubes for the intubation for your kiddo, and this is something you should feel free to ask them about.

There are lots of products out there. One that is VOHC approved is Healthy Mouth - I use it on mine. I also use Wysong's Dental Sprinkle. There is also PetzLife, PlaqueOff, CET toothpaste, CET chews (contain dental chemicals which are beneficial), Leba III....what else am I missing here?
I believe chews are very important...I like RMBs (raw meaty bones like Bison ribs), CET chews, Honest Kitchen Beams, Bully Sticks, Munchy Stix and a few others. If you get the CET chews, get them at much better prices on Amazon, not at the vet's.
