Omg. It's literally 1 am right now and still in yt looking at these videos. I am worried. My baby needs this but I am not comfortable. I can't afford to lose him. He is my life. I'm gonna die if something will hapen to him (pls bear with me I AM SCARED) but yep, his teeth needs this! I mean, I overthink a lot like will he wake up after? Does the procedure doesn't have bad effects on his health afterwards? Gosh.
Thank you , video was wonderful & informative. Have a 15 lb 10 year old Shih Tzu who has been scheduled at a low cost clinic for $400 total. ( uncomplicated scale & polish, preopexam, bloodwork, anesthesia ). We Have used them before and were very happy with their work. Only problem is there is a 8 month wait to get in. Know that I called around and with great effort managed to get estimates of $600 to $1760.00! So Tough to get those estimates, and forget about procedure price transparency. Some places required a vet visit first and would not give a ballpark estimate! Very few made available a procedure price list! So insane.People we are talking estimates so one can responsibly budget in the “necessary’ expense! Most of us (Senior-disabled here) will find this expense a hardship, even at the low end $400.! No matter how much we love our fur babies, they exist in a larger familial landscape with other competing expanses. FYI, we are located in Suffolk County, NY - Long Island.
Dogs are exposed to the primary beam to create an image needed for treatment. The operators wear PPE to protect themselves against continuous exposure to secondary radiation. This is carefully monitored by the industry.
I guess this is why when I drop my dog off at 8 he doesn’t get picked up till 4. It’s a whole day of making sure he’s okay to come home. Although he’s normally salty with me. 😂
I have my Maltese scheduled for this procedure and I’m TERRIFIED. This looks like a major surgery and I’d literally die if something went wrong. He’s my child. I’m so scared but he’s teeth have plaque and I can’t remove it by brushing it.
The problem with manual removal of plaque via pick is that you are not addressing the gingival disease nor the potential alveolar bone loss from deeper periodontal disease, which can only be visualized via xray. I know anesthesia can be a scary thing, but know that your vet and vet staff are well trained and implement extensive monitoring and safety procedures throughout the process
@@Cheese-HeadI got both of my small dogs (mini poodles) teeth cleaned today and it really is a must if you want your little one to live as long as possible. Teeth health is one of the most important things and I know it’s scary because they’re our babies but it’s a super routine procedure for vets.
@@marecostello Appears aggressive, doesn't it? But for someone who's been in the veterinary industry for 46+ years, this is the standard. It is not being jammed, it is carefully inserted into the trachea. Retrievers and Labs generally take a larger tube size than most, and Great Danes, etc. But it always amazes me what a lab can handle. You definitely do not want a tube too small, as your patient may be able to breathe around the tube. There are other methods out there, but the endotracheal tube is your direct line to administer oxygen carrying the anesthetic gas, to keep your patient at the anesthetic level you want. And of course, with proper monitoring.
@FTG2Eli Thank you for taking my query seriously. It was shocking to see this, having absolutely no idea and your comment made things more understandable.
First well drug your dog, then well shove a catheda in your dog and then put the fucker out. Rip the tooth out and brush then charge you a fucking fortune. Ive been there, I took my dogs into the vets and got my dogs their shots. Then the vet looked at Cheekos teeth and said they were great for a 10 year old dog but a tooth in the back was rotten....24 hours later I had a $1500 fucking bill.
It’s ridiculous how much these vets charge…but their overhead is so high and the vets want to make a million/yr plus look how many salaries have to be paid each week……I haven’t been able to afford a dentist but I am saving my money to bring my girl in bc she has a cracked molar in the back….yes I’m way off with them making that million, however, it’s still too darn expensive to take your fur baby to the Vet……
Vets in the US make on average $79,000-120,000; vet school on average costs $150,000-400,000. I promise ya very few if any vets are making millions a year.
There are NO vets making $1 million a year. Most earn about $125K and have massive student loans. People want top notch medical care and do not want to pay for it. Overhead including staff salaries, equipment, drugs, rent, utilities cost money. After 8 years of education to become a DOCTOR, we are entitled to earn a living. The only one making money in vet med these days is the large corporations who only care about the $$, not the individual veterinarian.
My little dog needs her teeth cleaned. I brush them every other day because it stresses her out… but one of my friends little dogs died while under. I am scared to death and have held off as long as I can. But she really needs them done. I wish we had a vet office that did all the preventions you guys do.
@@elizabethromero8630 PLEASE PLEASE DON'T DO IT!!!!! MY SWEET BABY BOY DIED ON THE TABLE LAST WEEK! I'LL NEVER GET OVER LOSING HIM. DR CALLED TOLD ME THE PROCEDURE WENT PERFECT! THEN HIS HEART STOPPED! HE WAS A 5 LB YORKIE. HE'D HAD HIS TEETH DONE BEFORE, PLUE NEUTURED AT THE SAME TIME. HE CAME HOME TO ME IN A FEW HOURS JUST FINE I NOW TRULY BELIEVE HE WAS GIVEN AN OVERDOSE OR CRUSHED HIS TRACHEA PUTTING THAT PIPE DOWN HIS THROAT! A VERY NARROW ONE, THE SIZE OF A STRAW SHOULD BE USED, THE NEXT TIME I'M ABLE TO GO IN THAT OFFICE TO PICK UP MY TOBY'S ASHES, I WILL LOOK IN HIS EYES AND ASK HIM IF WAS IN THE ROOM THE ENTIRE TIME, OR WHEN THEY PULLED THAT TUBE FROM HIS THROAT? WAS HIS AWARE OF THEIR TINY THROAT? MAYBE NOT?
@@suestone6156 I’m so so sorry for your loss believe me I was super scared the whole time I was praying God for her . Thank God everything went good but I would never put her under never again .. I’m so sorry again for your little tobby 🥺😔😔😔
@@lindaguida4074 Try banfield pet hospitals for around $350.00 you can get a wellness plan for a year with a comprehensive dental cleaning and you get as many vet visits as you want...
My dogs wellness plan is 60$ a month… includes once a year dental cleaning, free exams, blood work, heart and tick prevention, not to mention shots…. Best wellness plan ever such a money saver. Banfield for the win!
Yep just be prepared for the massive price tag! Far too expensive, we should be able to have pet insurance like human insurance, not having to pay up front then get reimbursed, the whole point of good insurance is to not have to pay hardly anything out of pocket!
@@ArmedChicano without insurance it costs couple hundred , not sure about where you live , should be covered under insurance, but you have to pay up front , then are lucky if you get the money back, seems shady to me
@Mitch K Wow! Last time my dog's teeth got cleaned it was around 200-300. I had a small dog and have been with this vet since day one. I have another small dog now who will be going in. Curious to see how much it costs now.
But if they have gum disease, then they are more likely to have complications during anesthesia. It's better to prevent decay, then to treat it after it's started. Same with a person, you don't want to go to the dentist every few years for a root canal or extraction, because you never have your teeth professionally cleaned.
I just scheduled mine for my dog. When they told me to drop of for surgery I was like "huh??? For a dental cleaning??" I didn't realize it was this extensive. Just goes to show, I should have known and taken better care of his teeth cuz his breath STANKKKK
Yea this one guy came in the clinic to drop off his dog and idk how didn’t give him an estimate but this man thought his dental was about to be just $50… like nope. Theirs anesthesia, pain injection, cerebra injection, and time!
The take-home message of the following story is to take care of your pet's dental health & brush their teeth regularly as you (hopefully) do your own. My 20lb rat terrier, now 11, had bad breath from the time we adopted her at 1-1.5yrs old from a family that was moving & couldn't keep her, (she came w/a bottle of breath freshener that you put in her water, but it was a bunch of chemicals that I didn't want her to injest; all that product does is cover up a sign of gum/periodontal disease). I complained to the dentist about her breath, but he wasn't worried, as she was young & her teeth, though starting to show minor discoloration, were healthy. From reading about it on various reputable sites (I look for consistency), I learned that bad breath is a sign of something else going on. After her first cleaning, when her teeth were showing build-up of plaque on the back molars, we were told to brush her teeth. We started out doing it regularly & then without realizing it, it fell off to "once in awhile." Eventually, after her second cleaning, we were told she had periodontal disease & would need 22 teeth removed 😢. She now has one top & one bottom molar on one side of her mouth that come together to chew, 2 lower canines, 2 top & 1 bottom incisor, & a couple molars on the bottom of the other side, but no top molars. I felt/feel VERY, VERY sad & remorseful😩because I wasn't being diligent & taking it seriously enough. It didn't strike me that she could actually lose most of her teeth & now she can't enjoy bully bones or other hard crunchy treats. I want to cry just typing about it. I now brush her teeth at least 6 days a week (I'm not perfect). It is easier & I believe more efficient to brush her teeth with the electric toothbrush. When I first thought to try it, my concern was the noise would be the reason it wouldn't work, but the noise didn't bother her, nor did the vibration (except on her 3 little incisors), so that's what we use. She's a pretty compliant dog & she lets us brush her teeth even though she doesn't like it. She LOVES her CET enzymatic chicken flavor toothpaste & gets a couple fingers with small smudges of toothpaste afterward as a reward. After, say, 3-4 yrs, her breath has begun to smell again. It's not to where I don't want her breathing near my face, as it was before, but the sign is there that things in her mouth aren't as healthy as they should be. The bottom molar she chews with has turned brown, which looks bad to me, but the vet said she didn't have calculus build up & we were doing a good job brushing. After her diseased teeth were removed, the vet said they saved what teeth they could, but it was possible she may need to have more removed down the line. With her breath, I'm concerned that day is coming. It is known that poor dental health & the bacteria from diseased gums gets into the bloodstream & leads to other disease & shorter life expectancy and that terrifies me, both for her sake & for mine.
Why am I crying? Gonna have my munchkin taken in soon. Her teeth are horrendous. Miss that puppy breath. Right now, her breath smells like the darkest part of a sewer. They’ll probably remove most of them.😕
My daughter had her dog's teeth cleaned last week and her breath was rotten as well and we thought she was going to lose all of them. But the only teeth she lost were the 2 front ones that fell out ( no charge for that). Other than looking like a lil hillbilly her breath is now wonderful, still miss the puppy breath tho!. She smiles too and now she's even cuter, ok funnier. I hope your doggy does well and gets to keep her teeth too.
Please don’t ever let them get that bad to begin with! I know most people can’t afford a dental for their animal every year, but they should be taken every three years at the least. Don’t wait until they are on death’s door before you get them done. They may have good breath again but the periodontal disease may have already caused irreversible damage to their organs.
+Kendo DontKnockTheRock I'm unsure why I didn't see this comment sooner! I apologize for the late reply! Digby was eating much faster than the other dog in the household. After finishing his own portion, he would push the other dog out of the way and eat his food as well. Do you have a dog that eats too fast? Have you tried any of these methods?
The dog that is in the video dose not need to slow down eating, its actually quite a normal speed, my dog inhales its food, it was scary and frustrating to start with, i feed it meat and found the best way to slow it is add a few ice cubes in the meal and she has to keep working round them.
That's excellent that you found a way to slow her down! Keep in mind that ice has the potential to cause damage to their teeth, so check her chompers regularly :)
