Re: OT: HELP: PLS PRAY for my Hannibal
Prayers of course coming for you, Hideyo, and Hannibal.My sister has an 18 year old dog with teeth problems. The vet says the problem with the sedation is fear that it could stop the heart. I don't know. It's getting worse, so I think they are going to have to take the risk for her as well.tonyaTad Burnett [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yes...I went through the same thing with my vet...Didn't want tosedate because of his age...But his father had the same thingyears earlier and ended up with cancer in the jaw and had tobe PTSI didn't want to go through that again and said I wouldrisk it to get the bad tooth outAs it turned out he used a very light sedation..only knocked him out for a couple minutes...It only takes a second to pull a tooth ifyou are all set up to do itIn 3 days he was eating like a pig and now 2 years later he is welland happy and no more antibiotics neededI don't know why vets are so afraid to take the risk and go for it...Maybe they just want you to understand that there is a valid riskbut in many cases in the long run the risk of doing nothing may beworse TadHideyo Yamamoto wrote:Hi, I am thinking of taking him to my vet to have them pull his tooth tomorrow morning -- again, he is an older boy, and has a kidney problem (or had), and heart murmur.. the vet thinks he has FIP due to high level of globulin (very high..) which by the way I dont think he has..

Re: OT: HELP: PLS PRAY for my Hannibal
Yes...I went through the same thing with my vet...Didn't want to sedate because of his age...But his father had the same thing years earlier and ended up with cancer in the jaw and had to be PTSI didn't want to go through that again and said I would risk it to get the bad tooth out As it turned out he used a very light sedation..only knocked him out for a couple minutes...It only takes a second to pull a tooth if you are all set up to do it In 3 days he was eating like a pig and now 2 years later he is well and happy and no more antibiotics needed I don't know why vets are so afraid to take the risk and go for it... Maybe they just want you to understand that there is a valid risk but in many cases in the long run the risk of doing nothing may be worse Tad Hideyo Yamamoto wrote: Hi, I am thinking of taking him to my vet to have them pull his tooth tomorrow morning -- again, he is an older boy, and has a kidney problem (or had), and heart murmur.. the vet thinks he has FIP due to high level of globulin (very high..) which by the way I dont think he has..

Re: OT: HELP: PLS PRAY for my Hannibal
I agree with Tad, that very light, short-term sedation can be used, and that the alternative risk of leaving the tooth in is best avoided. How old is Hannibal, approximately?
