Once you feel stronger, go back and confront the vet about what she said. she could just be quoting an average life span of a dog without having any evidence

I didn't realize Tikeya is 10 (almost), I though she was 7 or 8. I think Brody's Mum is right, she's just talking about "average life span". One of Jack & Sherman's kennel mates was 17.

From a breed info site:
"The average life span of the Siberian husky is 10 to 12 years. "

from two other sources:
"Huskies commonly live till the ages of 15 or 16 years, but in the arctic when working they are lucky to make it to 8 or so, [due to]the climate..."

and a site with very good answers to questions re: Siberians
" Siberians Huskies lifespan on the average is from 10 to 14 years. There have been Siberians to live up to 17 years of age. So they have a fairly long life span."

Poor girlie! I hope the surgery goes well. I don't have any ideas on what you could use to clean teeth. I always give my dogs raw meaty bones and they have great teeth. Even Beanie who is 11 now. Not a spot of plaque on his white and shinies.
