I actually think she would probably be ok.  She has had dental issues since she picked me at the humane society in 1990, & has pretty much had dentals done 1-2 times per year & she's never had a problem with the anesthesia.  She had some sort of episode a little over a year ago...my husband saw it & what he described sounded like a seizure, but we can never be sure what happened.  We took her to the e-vet at the time & they suspected it was her heart, since her labs indicated enlargement.  She had an ECG, tho, about a week later & it showed no mechanical defect.  She has had her teeth cleaned once since then & they just used the gas, not the injectable & she came thru it (Maya, a black & white 6 year old just minimized my screen while I'm typing...stinker!) just fine.  I'm just always a bit nervy about my furkids right after I've lost one.  She's been fine the last couple days, but I think it's time for another dental.

How old is Sammy again?  My Buddy was FIV+ and had dental issues.  He was 16 years old the last time he had his teeth cleaned and a few teeth pulled.  He went through the anesthesia just fine.  He was in really good health despite the FIV though.
 
What does your "gut" say about putting Sammy through anesthesia?
