The last time Ripley had his teeth cleaned he was 11 years old. They told me no food or water after midnight. On first attempt they wouldn't do it because his kidney levels were too high (the first sign we had of his kidney failure) but we tried again a month later and that time they told me to let him drink water if he wanted so when they ran the blood work to check his kidney's his levels were better even though still elevated. They went ahead with the cleaning but made it quick so he wouldn't be under long and all went well.

Good luck Fister!!!
