Omega-3 Improves Your Pet Health

My vet recommended a major dental cleaning for my 13 year old cat. He has obvious dental disease – but no problems eating and is in no pain. My concern is not the cost – but his age and the fact that they have to use anesthesia. He’s never been sick – thank God! – and he’s in good health (had physical yesterday). But it concerns me that they have to put him to sleep. I know the health benefits and potential risk, but I’m still concerned. Any suggestions….?

Today i took my cat to the vet as he had been bitten by another cat and i was getting it treated. While i was there, i was horrified to be told he has bad plaque build up on his very back teeth, along with gingivitis, it did look a bit nasty. The vet typed me up and estimated bill for the dental work, overnight stay of the cat and possible extractions. Now, I have absolutely no problem with paying for this and keeping my cat in the best health, but im just worried about one little thing. As the bill was pretty high, how do i know they will take the cats teeth out for the sake of it. And also, if they do remove his teeth, is he going to be able to eat cat biscuits and chew properly with a lack of teeth. I know that these vats are doing a good job but i am obviously at their mercy, knowing only the basic health of my cat.

My cat is almost 11 years old. She’s still very playful and acts silly like a big old kitten. She needs to have one of her top front fangs extracted. I was wondering, is it safe for her to go through the surgery? I don’t want anything to happen to her when they put her under anesthesia. Other than her tooth, she doesn’t have any other health problems.
