I do believe you that it’s proper protocol. No doubts about that. It was just in this particular case, given Bijou’s age, the doctor deemed it best to deviate from that protocal. Maybe it works a bit different at this clinic than others cause it was actually him who did the dental in this case, not a technician/assistant. At least in regard to removing the bad tooth, he said he did it. I know vets can be wrong. It is hard for me to dive into the research cause I don’t have a subscription to the academic journals of veterinary medicine. Plus I don’t have the training to really be able to evaluate the research. And I have gotten different opinions from different vets, and they do differ. Some disagree and some don’t. This is just a huge problem for all pet parents when it comes to finding a vet that you can trust and knowing the correctness of the advice and recommendations they provide. |
