I need some veterinary advice. Boris Derbyshire is now at least 13 years
old — a nonagenarian in people-years. His teeth need descaling, and the
vet wants to do it, but with general anesthetic.
Now, we recall a previous vet, some years ago, doing the same thing with
general anesthetic, but remarking, as he did so, that past a certain age it
was not wise to do this as the dog might not come round. So there’s a
difference of veterinary opinion here.
Anyone know about this? Boris’s general health seems pretty good, but we
don’t want to take unnecessary chances.
