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.

Pet Soft Palate

Because of many years of bad breeding, Brachycephalic breeds can have trouble breathing because of their abnormal anatomy.

Appointment

Pet Soft Palate Resection

Soft palate correction can be combined with stenotic nares repair, and laryngeal sacculectomy however, it is not recommended to combine all 3 procedures with another elective surgery [ie: spay/neuter] due to the more invasive nature and increased risk of swelling or bleeding post-soft palate correction surgery.

Potential complications of soft palate surgery and saccule removal can be emergent and severe, leading to additional procedures such as a temporary tracheostomy, prolonged hospitalization while remaining intubated, or other devastating consequences.

It is ALWAYS recommended patients stay overnight at a 24-hour facility for monitoring the first 24-48 hours post-operatively.
