Howdy all.
I'll keep it short and sweet - Sassy had some dental work done earlier this month and she was a trooper! Unfortunately she had a bad reaction to the anesthetic and they had to wake her up before they could finish pulling her two cracked teeth, but they got everything cleaned and got some X-Rays in. The initial plan was to pull her two cracked teeth, but the X-rays showed that all four of her canines are showing signs of resorption and the vet suggested pulling those too (when we get her back in for surgery) as they can eventually crack/break without the roots. I am not inclined to pull out this many of Sassy's teeth at once, especially not her four big chompers, as she is an otherwise healthy 13 year old cat. I plan to get a second opinion and my vet has offered to send x-rays wherever I want. Just curious - Does anyone have experience taking a "wait and see" approach with this kind of thing?
Thanks!
