Afraid to have my cats teeth cleaned

She is going on nine, means the world to me, I'd be devastated if I took her in and she died. I've already lost two pets in my lifetime to anesthesia. I know her back teeth are very heavy with tartar and plaque and I know when she gets older without the cleaning theres the increased chance of heart disease. I'm besides myself here. Pay extra for the blood test they do beforehand to make sure the sedative is given correctly. I felt the same way about my cat's teeth cleaning but he had gum disease and had to have it done in order to eliminate the threat of heart problems. Best of luck - be strong. I'm going to be judgmental here, and say that no vet should be anesthetizing an animal without doing a pre-anesthesia blood screening. A lot of owners won't know enough to insist if the vet doesn't suggest it, but it's really, really important. Lis |
