Mantis's first dental check up under GA 狗狗的洗牙记

Mantis has been with us for the past 4 months or so.

His teeth have a lot of tartar, and he has persistent nasal discharges from his left nostril. We tried antihistamine and 2 week course of antibiotic (Augmentin) - but this failed to solve the problem.

Apparently poor dental hygiene may also cause nasal discharge, hence, CJ have booked appointment for dental scaling/check up in April 24 (one month later). The procedure cost $800.

Then CK came back in between his hospital rotations, and managed to book an earlier appointment at another vet clinic. It was much cheaper, quoted as $400. Hmm... what a drastic difference!

Today is the big day. He was kept nil by mouth from midnight, and brought to the vet for his appointment around 1.30am. 

He was ready to be brought back home at 2pm or so.

Let's see if this helps to clear his nasal discharge.

我们家的“螳螂” （宠物狗的名字), 已经入住我们家将近四个月。它的牙垢很厚，洗刷不了。左鼻又常会有鼻涕溢出；它一打喷嚏，便会把丝丝粘稠的鼻涕喷到地板上，怎么抹也抹不完。

今天终于带它到兽医站去全麻洗牙。希望这能一了百了解决牙垢与流鼻涕的问题！

它其实蛮乖巧，不随意吠或咬东西。就只是太过文静，不主动去迎合他人。
