Bev I truly understand. With Jack it was so different. Because I chose pallitive care for him, I promised him he would not ever have to go back to the vet unless of course it was for something treatable for which it would be irresponsible not to take him. So I never planned to do follow up xrays of any kind - just to treat all symtoms as they occured. He made it so easy for me and I was able to keep that promise.
But I don't think you could anesthetize her without checking her lungs could you? And if she God forbid, had mets, I really wouldn't do a dental. But she has no symptoms!!! So she is going to be fine.
We love you Darcy Deerhound
