teeth cleaning Hi All, I haven't posted b efore but I am reading a lot. I do have a question about my Yorkie. She is 10lb /10yr.old diabetic & has to have a tooth extracted & teeth cleaned. I am very concerned about putting her under anesthetic she has an enlarged heart. Does anyone have a Yorkie that's had the same. Please any help would be appreciated. Thanks Jeanne& Peaches |
I don't know, but I take it you've talked this over with your vet and the type of anesthetic the will be used? I hope someone here can help you.:animal-pa |
I have a 11 year old pom with Cushings disease, Liver problems and enlarged heart, this summer they did a liver biopsy on her and she stopped breathing on the table. Fortunatley she was at the ER hospita as she is under a specialists care and the trauma doctor was there and got her breathing again. So if surgery is absolutely necessary I would make sure it was done at a facility that could handle an emergency and a board certified surgeon.Also have the preanesthetic bloodwork done. Good luck. |
I have no help with you questions, but I wondered if you've heard about Petzlife? It's a tooth spray or gel that softens tartar making it easy to remove with a regular toothbrush. I've heard some great things about it, and many of YT members highly recommend it. It might be worth using for a month or so to check it out. Here's a link. http://www.petzlife.com/index.html In sixty days there's a dramatic difference, and maybe he won't need the cleaning. You can find it cheaper than this place if you do a google on it. |
