BooBoo is 12 years old and I have blood work and chest x-rays done for her every six months. The chest x-rays are done because it is suspected that she has asthma. The x-rays from the other day show that her lungs actually look better than they did in October. The vet said her blood work looks really good. I really think the positive changes are due to her new raw diet and raw goats milk. Her vet is holistic and gave me something that she mixes for her allergies so I am hoping that will help with her scratching.
My question is my local holistic vet recommends she have a dental where she would go under and have a full mouth x-ray of her teeth. She has few teeth left because she has resorptive disease. My other vet is very very holistic, use a sedative to put them out for the dental and doesn't even have an x-ray machine. He doesn't like putting them under and said his dental is just as complete. What do you guys think. I hate the idea of putting under but I really feel that is the most complete dental especially with her resorptive disease. There is no way of knowing what is going on under the gum without x-rays.
