Aug 21, 2015. A 9-year-old Chihuahua had 10 loose teeth encrusted with tartar. The couple did not want anaesthesia as the owner feared she would die on the op table. Vet 1 had prescribed antibiotics for 14 days and so there  was no bad breath. 

I assured her that gas anaesthesia via the mask would be safe. 10 loose teeth were pulled out. I advised spay in this old dog to prevent pyometra and breast tumours.

Yearly dental check up and scaling would save a dog's teeth.
