I would have the vet check his teeth to see if they need the dental first. I don’t think they should just be done yearly but when the dog needs it which can many times be longer then yearly depending on the dog. Why would they do anesthesia for an ultrasound? Callie had several done when she had her liver infection and they never put her under. Even when I was looking at going to a heart doctor for her they said they don’t like to use anesthesia or sedation when doing ultrasounds. If his teeth are very bad it might be about having him under for to long that is the vets concern. Can they just sedate him for the ultrasound?
