| Just dropped off my baby at the vet Just dropped off my baby at the vet for teeth extractions. He has double canine teeth both top and bottom. Had an exam on Friday and was told he needs to get them extracted for the adult teeth to grow correctly so there won't be problems later. I hope I made the right decision. Really don't want to get him sedated unless absolutely necessary. It hit me really hard when they took him away to the back. He looked so happy with no clue what is going to happen. He is such a happy baby and acted the same way when I had him neutered. At least my vet uses the gas to sedate so the effects wear off faster. When I had him neutered he was jumping up and down and very active by the time I picked him up in the afternoon. I think dropping him off at the vet freaks me out a lot more than it does him. He is so happy and secure all the time that my friends always joke about stealing him away and he wouldn't make any sound. Oh well....counting the minutes now..... |

| I'm sure he'll be fine but we always worry! Is there a reason the vet didn't take the extra teeth when he was neutered? That's usually when it's done so they don't have to be put under twice. |

| He was neutered at 6 months and the vet did take a few teeth back then. Unfortunately, his canines were not out yet. He's almost 10 months now. |

| Listed to your head this time. I have to tell you there is nothing sadder than watching two Basset Hounds who are sad looking to begin with, going in to get spayed. With their droopy ears and sad eyes. They looked so sad it was almost comical. |

| My three little girls had dentals done once or twice a year, and I never got used to it. They always did fine, and woke up very quickly once they withdrew the gas. When Ashley got older, I had to stop anesthesia unless it was absolutely necessary because she had an enlarged heart, but she still needed one surgery for an anal tumor and two times that she had infections and needed extractions. The last one was when she was sixteen years old. Ashley passed away right before her seventeenth birthday, but I believe that doing regular dentals is one of the things that helped her live such a long and mostly healthy life. Your baby needs to have his baby teeth extracted, so you are doing the right and loving thing for him. He's going to be just fine. I'm sure you are going to be exhausted tonight because of all of your worrying, but your little boy will probably will want to be running around playing. I hope the minutes fly by for you and that you have him back in your arms very soon.

I believe the same thing about regular dentals! I've adopted a few seniors and in the last few years I've lost two seventeen year olds and two sixteen year olds. Oddly, the seventeen year olds both had renal failure and the sixteen year olds had cancer.

| I had the same situation with my Bailey, his upper canines weren't out when he was neutered, so I had to get them out later, and didn't like the idea of going under anesthesia again because he is small, but he pulled through fine, your little guy will too

| My baby Mocha is finally ready for pick-up. Leaving work early now to go get him. The nurse said he is doing very well but I just really really need to see for myself. I will be babying him all night so will report his progress tomorrow. Thank you all for your support and taking the time to help a illogical mommy in distress. |

| Im so glad this is over and he is home with you. I was a little worried when Edward had his physical a few weeks ago and i had read that yorkies usually have to get teeth pulled out so i was preparing for the worst but luckily all his teeth came in no problem.
