greyhoundparty Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Hi all, My girl is 9 and has terrible teeth. Her brother almost died from a dental several years back (he aspirated during extubation, despite fasting, and was in ICU for a WEEK hanging on for dear life) so I swore I’d never do a dental again. But I just noticed last night my girl has a piece of molar missing near gum line so it looks like a dental surgery will now be absolutely necessary. What type of anesthesia for greyhounds are we in agreement on as the safest for this procedure? I am nervous bc of her age and my past experience. Thank you all.

greyhoundparty Posted February 10, 2023 Author Share Posted February 10, 2023 I guess a better question to ask is if anyone has a referral to a doctor or canine dentist in Atlanta area that you liked and trusted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiveRoooooers Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 I’m so sorry your boy had such a scary experience with his dental. I can’t find the anesthesia link I’m looking for but here is one to start linky. Quote Old Dogs are the Best Dogs. Thank you, campers. Current enrollees: Punkin. AnnIE Oooh M Angels: Pal . Segugio.

Remolacha Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 None of my dogs has ever had a problem with a dental, but Conner had to have one when he was 12. His blood work was all good but because of his age I took him to a specialist. Expensive, but well worth the money. In addition to two vets working on him (he had a lot of extractions) he had an anesthesiologist who monitored his vitals throughout the procedure. He recovered just fine.

Yes I will be taking my girl to a vet dentist vs regular vet for this procedure to keep her as safe as possible. A 7 year old grey that I board just had a dental with no extraction and he almost died from a reaction to the anesthesia causing him to bleed excessively internally! So I have very few good dental stories personally to give me comfort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
