My dog is my life, question about surgery? - dog teeth cleaning death
Please understand that I love my dog is more than most people the best of my life, I know it sounds sad and pathetic, but I really take with me wherever I go, I cry if you hurt or sad , love my dog.
Have Anyway, she is 13 and has a broken tooth and needs to be cleaned, is perfectly healthy, but I have a place under the procedures of anastesia, I'm scared to death, he was not awake. The Docotor assured me it will be ok, but I'm so nervous, a word of encouragement? Note that I do not want to be selfish and do not do it because I'm nervous, I can not deserve to have pain?

There are risks every time someone goes under anesthesia, but the risk is very low. I hope your vet and I know it is a necessary procedure for their health and comfort. I always get nervous when something is wrong with my dog, but you do what you do. If the infected tooth was broken or something, it can become much worse.
Ask your vet, "How many dogs this time were stunned, and it has never been a problem?" If the answer is no, then I say, okay, but he wants to be in the room during the entire procedure.
Awww. I love my dogs too. They were stunned several times with no problems.
Not that you fear if, but when my father was younger, who changed his dog to a vet for a bandage dog broke his leg and the doctor gave him an overdose of sedatives.
But I am sure that if your dog to a veterinarian you trust and know well, I'm sure you have nothing to fear.
We have several dogs who had had teeth pulled. The age varies, but none of them were young. It is a relatively safe procedure and seems to keep her pain.
I feel the same about my dog. A broken tooth is really nothing to worry about other serious medical problems ... They are there with your dog you will be comfortable. The dogs love to work with people ... While they were around you, you will get well by the operation.
And, not incidentally, to hear, first on the poster. It is pathetic and cruel.
A good vet should do the following before the surgery and follow-up to ensure this sort of guidelines for the safety of the animals
1. A complete examination, including auscultation, good heart, and ECG.
2. Make sure you select the pre-operative blood tests performed (complete blood count and serum biochemistry) and ask them to also include a coagulation profile.
3. If all the tests and blood tests are normal, then schedule the surgery and the dog quickly overnight. It is usually necessary to withhold water for 12 hours (water only, put the cup away) before going to bed.
4. Ask the doctor inserts an intravenous catheter before surgery. The treatment of liquids in general should be administered as a security measure. Pulse oximetry and cardiac monitoring is also recommended. IfBlood pressure monitoring is available, the additional costs that may secure additional safety margins.
5. Currently, the induction agent, propofol (private), and gas anesthesia, sevoflurane, are considered the most ideal (safe and effective) anesthetics. These funds are not always available and more expensive to use. Valium, ketamine and isoflurane gas are widespread and generally accepted. Due to changes in the physiology of large breeds, the choice of drugs such as acepromazine, thiopental and Rompun are less accurate. Talk to your veterinarian. To speak of adequate control of pain for your dog when considering surgery
6. During and after the operation the dogs very vulnerable (for hypothermia, low body temperature TEM aretemperature). The body loses heat directly through the open surgical stress and anesthetics further impair the ability to maintain body temperature. Hypothermia affects the cardiovascular system, coagulation, time of recovery from anesthesia and increases the risk of wound infection. Preventive measures, including the warming of intravenous fluids by the dog on a heating pad (movement of water or buffer pad to another group of "low") and for the body and legs with cloth blankets, bubble wrap or protective covers hot required after surgery are to keep the body heat. Temperature monitoring, or electronic means, or a rectal thermometer, should be made during surgery and at regular intervals during recovery.
I say go for it. Trust your vet. They know what they are talking, and if you believe in God. Pray for your dog.
