chihuahua baby teeth- need vet
i need a vet for my chihuahua to get her baby teeth pulled, shots, and a
worming test. any vet recommendations for the albuquerque/los lunas/rio rancho areas in new mexico? i'm mostly concerned about my dog going under- supposedly for teeth pulling you don't have to put them all the way under (which is what i want, i don't want her all the way out and then possibly not waking up). the vet i was going to use said it would depend at the time of the pulling- if the dog was "mean" (my dog isn't mean but yes she does get FRIGHTENED) then they'd put it all the way under without owner consent so the vet wouldn't get bit... my reaction to that is "it's a 3 pound RAT- you'd risk killing the dog just so your fingers don't get gnawed on?" *sigh* she needs her teeth done but i'm so scared. (she does need them done, she's over a year and still has most of her baby teeth and they bother her) :*( -- art and writings: http://grygon.critter.net/ art for sale: http://grygon.critter.net/gallery/vi...umName=album19 |

The risk associated with anesthesia on a healthy young dog is minimal. MK DVM |
