Sadie goes in for a shot in April, and at that time I will personally talk to the vet about getting her teeth cleaned.
He told me a year ago, that around May of this year I may want to seriously consider it.

In the meantime, I called one of the vet assistants and talked to her about the type of anesthesia they use for these little dogs while cleaning their teeth.

She said that first they use a pre-anesthesia IV, and then Isoflorine gas.

I have heard horror stories about small dogs and anesthesia, and am quite nervous about taking her in for teeth cleaning, but I know it is best for her.

Can anyone tell me if this type of anesthesia sounds safe.
I know there is more than one type of anesthesia, but I don't know what the names of them are.

Many thanks.
