go to dentist to get it out

[LadyCG]

Is this a question?

[MWG14]

Or an answer?

[retrocop]

Not likely. My dentist would have me arrested.!

2:30?

[J9PUR]

Yes, anyone else would be practising illegally

I’m guessing yrneh was replying to patsy’s post earlier.

Are dentists allowed to treat non-human patients?

[J9PUR]

No wolf63, vets are the appropriate people to treat non-human patients.

(I'm making the assumption that when you mean 'non-human' you mean 'animals' rather than 'extra-terrestrial)

[Mamyalynne]

J9, whilst you are here (nice to see you too) - is my recommendation of Difflam appropriate to JJ on this thread?

[J9PUR]

Thanks Mamyalynne.

In JJ's situation, post-surgery, Chlorhexidine mouthrinse would be the mouthrinse of choice to promote healing. It is also a good antibacterial.

J9PUR,

I don't think that my dentist could cope with removing my cat's teeth.

It was more along the lines of - it is illegal for a medical doctor to treat any animal other than humans. Yet Vets can legally treat humans. I got first aid from my Vet after my girl cat objected to being weighed.

I paid £400 to get four of Frankie's teeth removed.

[J9PUR]

It all depends on your definition of 'treatment'.

If your cat scratched you and your vet gave first aid (eg washed the wound and applied a dressing) then fine. Anyone suitably trained can administer 'first aid'. If however, I needed a surgical procedure carried out, I would consult a medic or dentist rather than a vet.

J9PUR,

It is purely theoretical. I just thought, when I saw you on this thread, that you might know the legalities. I will go and visit Google. Thanks. ☺
