I have my toy poodle booked in for her teeth to be scraped and cleaned. I am so worried about the anaesthetic. She has had this before when she was spayed but should I put her at risk for something that is cosmetic??? I have owned 2 other dogs in 26 years and neither had dental treatment. However, my little dog (who means so much to me) has pretty bad teeth albeit she eats a good diet. The cost is not a problem, but my dog is part of my world and I am scared incase she does not pull through this anaesthetic. Please help me with the right decision.
it depends on the age I think on anaesthetic my dog is gone 15 and is under the pdsa and the vet does not want to take the risk with her to have her teeth done I think some practices are more advanced on giving correct anaethetic to dogs I think they can run various test before hand
