| my baby died yesterday , I'm so sad Yesterday we lost our 12 yr old little man ,Dallas. The vet told us everytime we went in how bad his teeth were and how we were doing an injustice to our dog by not having them removed and how much better of a dog he will be if we had the surgery. He was 12 years old and his whole life had never had surgery because I was so scared he wouldn't be able to handle the Anastasia because he was only 4 pounds . I let the vet bully me into this surgery and now I have just guilt that I let him down , he trusted me . I drove him there , told him it will be ok and to be a strong boy and he didn't make it . To make matters worse it was my daughters birthday and he was her best friend her little side kick. Our family is devastated and although we have our little girl Philly still we are so sad to have list a member of our family . If your baby is old and little please people it's not worth the risk , please do your research and really weigh the risks involved . I failed my little man , it didn't have to be this way. |

| I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of your little man Dallas. You thought you were doing the right thing for him. You did not fail him please do not cause yourself more heart break feeling that way. He knew he was loved. God Bless the tiny Yorkie Angle Dallas.

| Bless your heart....I know exactly how you feel, I also was talked into a dental on a 12 year old baby girl....she had had dentals about every 12-16 months, and had done just fine. I was strangely reluctant about having a dental done when she reached 12 years old.....I allowed myself to be coaxed into allowing it, reassured and encouraged that it was the thing to do..... and my baby died on the table also. Never again will I have dentals done on any of my dogs once they reach 12 years of age, some I stop at 10 years old. Right or wrong, it is a decision I have found I can live very comfortably with....my dogs usually live to age 14-17 years old, and they do NOT die from bad teeth or anything that was caused by "bad teeth".. I have never again recommended dentals to people...I sit with them with hesitation and worry and wring my hands when they send THEIR babies in for dentals.....I have never lost a dog to bad teeth, and I will never again loose a dog to a dental procedure. I just cant live with the guilt for such a decision. I am so sorry for you and I know exactly what you are experiencing right now.....I wish I could say something, ANYTHING, that would help the pain and guilt you are suffering this moment. I am just so very sorry for you.....I wish there was something I could say or do that would back up time so you could make another choice, but of course that is impossible. But we each take away from our decisions, how and what we will choose to do in the future with our babies.....You will make decisions in the future with your babies that will reflect experiences you have survived with this baby.....my father used to tell me to make any decisions that I was faced with in life, with a clear mind, an educated mind, a knowledge of the facts, the pros and cons of the decision, and then you do what YOU can live with.....you do what YOU feel is the best decision, because you will live with that decision. I am so very sorry for you.....You must not think you failed your baby....you made a decision that you felt was in his best interest.....and you will make all future decisions based on what you have learned/experienced at this time....regardless of what you decide, it will be a decision you made with the best of intentions, the purest of heart, the gentleness of a loving momma......your baby boy knows this.....
