What kind of question should i ask a vet who will be doing a teeth cleaning on my cat?
it will be ok, just ask the vet about what kind of food to feed him that is good on the teeth and dont be afraid to ask all sorts of questions i should know iam a vet tech
Reply:one of the most important questions on earth was asked here, i am stil lnot sure if scientists have confirmed anything yet. there most be a way to follow !!!!! i think it is .. WHAT FOOD SHOULD I FEED MY CAT !? Report It

Reply:I would ask if they would have to sedate the dcat and what the risk would be of him coming out ok.
Reply:Just tell him to use Crest white strips. Little Bo will have shiney and healthy teeth to impress his friends.
Reply:Hi there again...ask if your vet uses isoflurane as the anaesthesia which recovery time is faster. A blood panel and evaluation will be done to determine if your cat can safely withstand being put under. Additionally, ask if there are any particular reasons as to why your cat may have develop the calculus buildup...food, feline disorders, etc.





After your cat comes home here%26#039;s an instructional video on how to brush your cat%26#039;s teeth by Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine for Feline Health:

Reply:I don%26#039;t know that I would take my cat. My aunt%26#039;s cat died from that from an infection and had another animal die shortly after their cleaning. It releases bacteria that wouldn%26#039;t necessarily be present in their bloodstream and can cause your animal to go septic. I have 2 cats and I won%26#039;t take mine in.
Reply:Ask him how many times he has done this procedure. He won%26#039;t be offended; you%26#039;re just concerned about your cat and he knows that. Tell him you have concerns about your kitty being put under. I had my cats teeth done and neither one had any problems. But my vet did say that the older a cat is, the riskier it is for a cat to be put under. Then have him show you how to brush your cat%26#039;s teeth so you can help prevent any future dental problems.
Reply:I think teeth cleaning usually requires sedation just like surgery. Before surgery, my vet gave me the option to do blood tests to check the health of my cat and make sure he/she is healthy enough to be sedated. You should definitely voice your concerns to your vet and if your vet is a good doctor he/she will take the proper precautions and tests to make sure your kitty is healthy enough to be sedated. With any medical treatment, though, there is always some risk, but it%26#039;s not high. I hope Bo%26#039;s teeth come out squeeky clean. So far, my felines haven%26#039;t had to go through that yet.
