I need some advice. I have 2 "babies", one 14.5 years old and the other 12. Their teeth have always been a problem. We get them cleaned about every 2 years. Now the vet wants almost $350 apiece for the complete deal, but this doesn't include any extractions, which I am sure each needs at least one tooth extracted. My question is this...is it safe for a 14 and 1/2 year old, or even a 12 year old, to go under anesthesia. How much quality time will this possibly give my Bentley, my 14 and 1/2 year old or Porsche, my 12 year old? It is not just the money. We would pay anything to keep them with us longer. We paid $1400 last year to have Porsche's mammary cancer removed. It's the risk and the quality of life. What if Bentley doesn't even make it out of anesthesia? What would you do?
