Question:
Hi, im a 9 year old pomeranium,, i have bad teeth and infected gums?
i have a bad heart also so it will be a big risk for me to go to the doc and get put under while he, she , ( doc) pulls my teeth ,whats the best way to take out teeth, and cure my bad gums ,, is this why i am coughing in spurts all the time , but mostly at night
Answers:
You really should have your dogs teeth cleaned. Its mouth is probably so painful, imagine if your mouth was like that? Your pet is at a higher risk but there are aneshetics that can be used, same ones used in humans. You should discuss this with your vet. Having this problem actually leads to heart problems due to the infection getting into the blood stream and affecting the heart which is where the cough could be coming from. Also, it would be a good idea to have pre-aneshetic blood work done before the procedure. Not getting proper medical care for your pet is considered abuse.
