Teeth Cleaning

[catmandu]

ALL OF MY SENIOR KITTYZENS AND JOHN HANCOCK HAVE HAD DENTALS , AND THEY ARE NOW ESSENTIALLY TOOTHLESS , AND DOING VERY WELL. THATS SAD ABOUT THAT POOR CAT WHO DIED AFTER THE PROCEDURE. BUT I WOULD THINK THAT THATS RARE.
THEY STILL EAT THIER DRY FOOD , AND ARE ACTUALLY A BIT HEALTHIER, AS THERE ARE NO TEETH TO GATHER BACTERIA.

Fister had his teeth cleaned earlier this year, he is 12 years old, so I was worried too, but there was no complications. It did take him a long time to come around though. Don't let her eat anything 12 hours before, and give her only a little bit of water. Ask your vet to give her as little anaesthesia as possible, and make sure you keep an eye on her when she is back home. She will most likely try to jump down from your bed before she really is able to without hurting herself.

Good luck!

All my girls have had their teeth cleaned, sometimes with extractions, without any complications. I'm sure everything will go well.

All my kitties (all four of them) have had their teeth cleaned and some extracted. My Sydney has actually had a good portion of her teeth removed, including a canine - and there where never any complications. So hopefully this will put your mind to ease!
