Just been for the annual trauma that is booster time with my three cats. They have said that the older one has a significant build up of tartar and suggested a teeth clean.
This involves a pre-med and general anaesthetic, being on a drip, tooth exam, removal of any which need removing, descale and polish, no doubt at an extortionate price.
She is not insured but I doubt if insurance would cover this anyway - presume they would call it general maintenance?
Anyway, the cost is not really an issue but the whole general anaesthetic thing really bothers me. Obviously I don't want my cat to have a sore mouth; she didn't have the best start in life but has the life of Riley with me. She is much loved. A friend's daughter is a vet and she once lost a dog on the operating table from hyperthermia and I suppose this is on my mind as well, a,though not the same situation, obviously.
So - do you have your cat's teeth cleaned? How often?
