Hi everyone,
I need to schedule an appointment for Maya to have her teeth cleaned and I will be calling the vet to find out about their procedure but I would like to hear from any of you and your experiences at the vet’s office.
My concern is the anesthesia
because Maya is only 7lb. what would be the anesthesia amount for a dog that small. Are the vets supposed to put them completely out? Or just enough so they can do their job?
And what about their tools they use. I remember reading that their tools should be up to date (of course, I don’t remember where I read it)but is that important?
And who performs the cleaning. Should I ask if the stuff is certified to do cleanings?
Now, what blood work is standard to perform and at that time should I have the vet do a liver ck or any major test.
Thank you in advance for any info…I just want to make sure I cover everything when I call the vet.
