Unanswered: An old dog with a carnassial tooth abscess
My 19 years old Pomeranian has recently been diagnosed with a carnassial tooth abscess. It will require a surgery (that costs at least $800) to remove one or all the bad teeth and the vet thinks the success rate is only 50% because of his age. He is already blind and he usually sleeps the entire day, so I worry that he may not has an acceptable quality of life after the surgery and he may just go from one crisis to the next.
Should I consider euthanasia instead of surgery?
Thanks.
