First, apologies for not finding the pet thread. Feel free to move it there, admin.
Second, this is somewhat urgent as the vet recommended this about a month ago but then both of my cats proceeded to eat a palm tree (I totally dropped the ball on that one) and had upset stomachs for weeks. Now that they are better, the question of teeth cleaning is looming again.
Especially for my boy who has gingivitis. The only teeth cleaning option offered by our vet is under general anesthesia. This scares me because of the risks involved. Is this necessary? Aren't there other appropriate sedation methods where he could breathe on his own? I am terrified for his life. And my girl would have to get it done at some point too.
Your experience, expertise, thoughts are appreciated.
