I even bought a tooth brush and paste and brushed his teeth periodically.
I have already set the ground rules with my new vet about my feelings on that and our new fur buddy does get his teeth brushed monthly!!
Do you only brush your teeth 'periodically' 'monthly' ??
We brushed our Border Collie/Mix teeth nightly....regular routine.
Brush our teeth...brush her teeth.
At 14 yrs old her teeth were Clean/good healthy gums/no bad breathe....in other words NO Dental Issues
OP......
Tooth (teeth) NEED pulled.......get them pulled.
Fatty Tissues....????? (if can be done while under for dental OK...but to prolong time under just for fatty tissue------I'd be real hesitate at that age)
Hope all goes well!
