Dental Care FAQ's

Healthy teeth are essential for your pet’s overall health and comfort. Dental disease is the most common medical condition in dogs and cats. By the age of three, most pets already have some degree of periodontal disease. Left untreated, dental disease can lead to:

  • oral pain
  • tooth loss
  • infection of the gums and bone
  • bacteria entering the bloodstream and affecting the heart, liver, and kidneys

A professional dental procedure allows us to thoroughly clean your pet’s teeth and evaluate the health of the mouth and tooth roots. At Second Chances Veterinary Care, every dental procedure includes a Comprehensive Oral Health Assessment and Treatment (COHAT) performed under safe general anesthesia.

Amputations & Declaws

Amputations and declawing are two procedures that are sometimes performed on pets. Amputations are typically done to address a medical condition or injury that cannot be treated any other way. Declawing, on the other hand, is done to prevent cats from scratching furniture or people.

Amputations for Pets

Amputations are surgical procedures that involve removing a limb or part of a limb from an animal. They are typically done to treat conditions such as tumors, infections, or injuries that cannot be addressed through other means. Amputations may also be performed in cases where a limb is causing the animal pain or is otherwise hindering its quality of life.

While amputations can be life-saving procedures in certain situations, they also come with risks. Depending on the type of amputation, the animal may experience pain, bleeding, infection, or other complications. Additionally, amputations can be emotionally traumatic for both the animal and its owner. It is important for pet owners to carefully weigh the risks and benefits of amputations before agreeing to the procedure.

Declawing for Cats

Declawing is a surgical procedure that involves removing the claws of a cat. It is typically done to prevent cats from scratching furniture, carpets, or people. While declawing may seem like a simple solution to a common problem, it is actually a controversial procedure that carries significant risks and ethical considerations.

First and foremost, declawing is a painful and traumatic procedure for cats. The procedure involves removing the last bone of each toe, which can cause significant pain and discomfort. Additionally, declawing can lead to a range of physical and behavioral problems. Without their claws, cats may become less confident and more likely to bite or exhibit other aggressive behaviors. They may also develop arthritis or other joint problems as a result of the surgery.

Given these risks and ethical concerns, many veterinarians now recommend alternative solutions to declawing. These may include providing scratching posts or other appropriate surfaces for cats to scratch, using soft paws or other nail caps, or using deterrents to keep cats away from furniture or other objects.

Amputations and declawing are two procedures that may be recommended for pets in certain situations. While they can be helpful in some cases, they also carry risks and ethical considerations that pet owners should be aware of. As a pet owner, it is important to discuss all options with your veterinarian and carefully weigh the risks and benefits of any procedure before making a decision.
