I have a yorkie named Abby who will be 7 in April. She has a significant amount of tartar build up. She hasn't ever had her teeth cleaned and her teeth havent been brushed regularly. When we first got her, she lived with my girlfriend who didnt put much care into her. Wwe separated and I took Abby. I care very much for her. I love this pup so much, but unfortunately I didn't keep her teeth brushed either. Now my vet has told me that she needs a cleaning badly and will probably need to have some teeth extracted. I am terrified of the anesthesia. I keep seeing horror stories of perfectly healthy dogs dying under anesthesia, even when it was administered properly and the preops were done. To top that off, i recently moved and had to switch vets. This vet would mask her down. I've read that that isn't safe. I lost a baby before birth and Abby is where all that love went. Can I get some advice?
