| I'm Nervous Hi All- I am a bit nervous, as Stannie goes in to the vet tomorrow for a teeth cleaning and possible extraction of two teeth (Vet says she will know better after all the tartar is removed). I am worried about the anesthesia at his age, and the possible extractions. I don't want my old man to be in too much pain. Not much anyone can do, but good wishes and positive energy are appreciated. Many Thanks. |

| According to my vet, as they get older, it does take them a bit longer to work the anesthesia out of their system (organs and tissues). But with a little extra TLC, which you are great at, I'm sure he'll be fine. But here's some hugs, positive thoughts, and prayers just to help out.

| Sending good wishes for Stannie. I am sure he will do great but sure understand your worry. Kass will be 10 in July and she had hers done three weeks ago and made out fine.

| they can give them something to reverse the anastesia and fluids to help wake up better/faster when removing tartar with the ultrasonic/water pic machine you can easily see if teeth are loose and need to be pulled

| Hi! Matthew, A week ago today my Samantha had dental surgery. She is a senior too and like always I was worried sick. All of her life she has had problems with her teeth and this time molars in back had to come out. My vet had her on IV fluid drip all that day and during surgery. I didn't pick her up until that evening. Just to make sure she was well hydrated. I know just how scarey putting them under is and all the worry that goes with it. Your little man will be fine. I admit last Monday Sami wouldn't eat anything and was just plain sick so I had a good cry and then it was on to plan B. I bought baby food, the beef and lamb and got her eating again. But next week I get to worry all over again because my two boys go in for dental cleaning. Please keep us all posted. That positive energy is a good thing!! |

| Thanks for the support, all. He was dropped off this morning, and I should be able to pick him up between 3 and 5 pm. He was not happy about being there, shaking like a leaf. Broke my heart. But it is in his best interest to get this done. Did you all know that tooth decay and infection is the number 1 health problem in pets today...both dogs and cats. Yikes. I will get some baby food, just in case. Keep the good thoughts coming. Many thanks, Matthew |
