I took Ally and Ollie to the vet today for a check-up. Ally is in perfect health. Ollie was close, but the vet remarked that his teeth and gums showed periodontal disease and tons of plaque. He thinks it is auto immune since Ollie isn't even 3 yet. So on Tuesday, they're putting him under to give him a thorough cleaning. Hopefully, this plus meds will put an end to it and any discomfort it might be causing him.
Anyways, what worries me is that when my dog went under anesthesia for the same, he lost his hearing. I suspect that he became hypoxic because somebody wasn't paying attention during the procedure. Is that rare or common? Should I worry about this procedure or not?
