| I don't want to hijack this thread, but my vet definitely has a second person to monitor vitals during dental anesthesia--I asked. When Bella had her complicated dental a couple of weeks ago, she was under anesthesia for more than 2 hours (probably closer to 3 hours). She recovered quickly and fully. Someone was with Bella when the vet called me in the middle of the procedure for a consultation...

BUT....I am only saying this one more time. If a vet does not have a dedicated person to monitor the patient's response to the anesthesia, he/she is cutting corners and very dangerous ones at that! I would NEVER go to a vet that didn't do this. If I were you, I would call and ask and leave if they aren't following this. It only takes one time .. it is not common to have an event during anesthesia but it CAN and DOES happen. If it isn't caught early, it can be deadly. I feel like I am beating a dead horse here because you have completely avoided this topic and/or made excuses or "guessed" about what they are doing.....and honestly, that is your choice ... but again, it is not safe. I have posted above what proper protocol is and people can choose to listen or not. Not much more I can do.

His last dental which was in Nov. shortly after he turned 9, the x-ray showed them there was practically no bone left on all 6 bottom incisors, they all had to go. When he went to the dental center, they did x-rays, but he was a lot younger, I think around 2 or 3. That place was phenomenal. I never felt so safe leaving him somewhere lol.

Ohhh and btw those bottom incisors are a huge problem. There isn't much bone under them to begin with.

| Oh I SO understand. Been there. I still feel terrible when they lose teeth and it really IS just a small dog thing...plus genetics play a huge part. Even knowing that, I still always feel like I failed.

| LadyJane- Thank you. you helped even out my natural nervousness for any loved one going through surgery. We just got the call from our vet. Chewie is missing teeth. Some of those molars never grew in, so they never pushed out the baby molars. She has a bottom tooth missing- it never fell out, just never grew in. I'm not surprised by the teeth issue but am a bit surprised by the news. Her breeder has dings all over his record for teeth issues. I'm just surprised that there wasn't the early decay I was expecting (I brush her teeth and regularly check for issues, but it's hard to do a thorough cleaning on a squirming gal) but the teeth growth issue. They are pulling a baby molar to stop the crowding out her adult teeth, and she'll be home soon. They had three people in the room- standard procedure. The tech to help the doc, and another qualified person watching the vitals at all times. I saw a review where a dog bit the line to heck and I got EXTREMELY nervous a week ago, but, thanks to you, I was able to approach this calmly. Thought I'd give an update. |

| My yorkie had two oral surgeries two years apart. Why it couldn't be done all at once the first time is beyond me. It's hard on them. Very hard. |
