Re: cats teeth and other ways to spend our money

Tend to agree with you, Dave. Having a career on the medical side of the house and knowing that (especially general) anesthesia is not risk free, I avoid it for myself and those I love, if possible.

??? Why not? Imagine what your teeth would be like if yours were never
cleaned.
My vet also filled cavities on one of my cats.

3 or 4 YEARS?????
They'd have to put me under too if tartar was left to build up that
long. 
My boys get it done every year, no anesthetic, and no extra cost.  I
mentioned what you'd said to my vet and he said it is common in some
places
to just hand over your cat, but he wouldn't want to trust anyone who
would't
let you be there while your cat was being treated (not that your vet's
not
trustworthy, just good to be there to see what's being done) He also
feels
anesthetic's not necessary and is expensive. He said he has clients
who
come to him twice a year from Cleveland - about 5 hrs away - because
the
vets there insist on anesthetic. They found it was cheaper to make
the
trip
and visit friends than to pay the Cleveland vet and put their cats
through
the anesthetic.

&#65279;Jesse's computer at home is fried. Kids got into something
and
it
got 
a
virus.  So she'll be out of pocket  computer-wise until Tuesday,
since
she's 
taking
Monday off from work.  Just thought you'd like to know.  She needed
something
else
on her plate - not. Sugar is still very mad at me for taking her to
the
vet
today.
She's still pretty wobbly from the anesthesia, but she's done until
next
year 
and
we only have to do the teeth-cleaning thing every 3 or 4 years.
Good
thing 
too
'cause it ain't cheap.   But my angel is worth every penny.  And
every
hole 
she
put in my shoulder taking her in there today.  Ouch.
