My Teddy is 4lbs (sometime less!) with a >1 heart murmur and had his dental done under general anesthetic yesterday. He came through fine and is fine today.
The thing is, dentals should not be viewed as optional. They are an integral part of your responsibility as a pet owner to a toy dog.
As others have mentioned, dental has a lot more to do with health in addition to teeth. Bone infection and internal organ failure can result from plaque and tartar build up.
Any damage which has been done cannot be reversed but further damage can be prevented. Please get your little dogs teeth done and feel free to come to the forum or PM individuals for further advice to go along with vet advice.
Good luck |
