robinw Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Loca is having a dental tomorrow, as well as having a small growth removed from her face (the vet isn't concerned about the growth). She will be 12 years old in a couple of months. Should I be any more concerned because of her age than I would be with a younger dog? All of her senior bloodwork is well within normal limits and the vet is very grey savvy. thanks Quote Xavi the galgo and Peter the cat.

Guest MomofSweetPotatoes Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 (edited) Loca, we'll be thinking of you. Robin, Gus went under at 12, I did worry, but then again I worry about hangnails and eye snot too. But if senior bloodwork was done, and we know she's healthy, just the normal worry jitters are fine. p.s. My vet keeps an extra close eye on core temp, o2 and heart rate as well having the techs check the same more frequently during recovery.

Batmom Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 p.s. My vet keeps an extra close eye on core temp, o2 and heart rate as well having the techs check the same more frequently during recovery. Same here. But if she's basically healthy and sounds like she is, she should be fine. Sending prayers anyhow! Keep us posted!!!!
