Wow these are some great links you've found here! Thanks there is so much info on all types of dental hygiene and detection of problems and procedures! I wish this Dr. McDonald from the expertvillage.com link was around here I would definitely go to him, he definitely seems like he knows his...
I'm not sure if he has the capability to do x-rays. I know he does regular x-rays if they need but I think that to do the teeth they might need a special x-ray machine. When I asked him about it he said something along basically that he didn't need to do xrays and that it could get expensive...
Have there ever been any complications? Like animal's dying on the table and what not? If there aren't any IV fluids hooked up to them what do they do if there blood pressure starts to fall to much? Wake them back up maybe? Thanks for the info!
Thanks so much for all your responses! My vet did say he was going to do blood work right before the procedure and also said he wanted to start him on antibiotics before (clindamycin) and after. The anesthesia he said he usually uses is either propofol or isoflurane. All this stuff seems to...
I recently started taking a look at Sunny's teeth and realized they had a pretty nasty tartar build up. He is about 4 to 5 years old. I had been planning on brushing them myself and then realized that the tartar build up was so bad I couldn't even scrape it off with my nail. Well needless to say...
About 3 months ago I noticed a small pimple like thing in the corner of my Sunny's right eyelid. Then I noticed another one on the top of the left eyelid. I decided to wait it out a little bit and see if it would go away. I waited about almost 3 months and then decided to just go to the vet. He...
It could maybe be ringworm, which would explain the hair loss. An easy way to test for this is to use a blacklight and see if the hair in the area glows a flourescent green color. Though testing this way isn't 100% accurate as the hair might not glow and it could still be ringworm, most of the...
Thanks everyone so much for all the prays and vibes!!! Despite everything we did somehow little Max just couldn't pull through. We all kept hoping and praying and I really thought that he might make it cause he kept getting little bursts of energy here and there and kept trying to walk around...
Max is my brother's girlfriend's 4 month old kitten. He suddenly started having breathing problems out of nowhere. They think that he might have injested tylenol somehow. He just got a shot of Dex as they call it 2 days ago for a sprained ankle. It is a Cortisteroid anti-inflammaory. I think...
Check up as far as what? I am still gonna go to my vet to get him tested once a month to see how his urine levels are doing. I tried going to another vet already and they told me the pretty much the same procedure as my vet, S/D for a month or two and then C/D forever. They don't wanna hear...
Im dealing with the same problem over here and it's driving me crazy. I have been feeding Sunny Prescription S/D for the last month and a half. I was gonna just try using the natural acidifiers but the vet scared me into the Prescription crap telling me that crystals can become life threatening...
