my cat needs a dental cleaning but the clinic wants nearly 600 when the same clinic was charging 200ish like 2 years ago.

can i just give the cat like 50-75mg of trazadone a couple times over a week period and scrape out the plaque while hes retarded drowsy off the traz? or is this "animal abuse"?

traz is relatively safe for cats and the little shit has had it countless times for trips and social occasions.

This isn't /an/, but try giving your cat greenies dental treats. Dental cleaning from a vet is their bread and butter money maker that they push when it's not entirely needed. $600 is aggregious.

>it's another retarded poorfag who spends all his money on his useless pet for imaginary made up stuff like "cat teeth cleaning"
Dude you realize the vets just invent stuff to scam gullible tards out of their money, right? Just stop taking your pets to the vet, or better yet sell/give it away.

Your thread reminds me of a lady who worked for my father in law. She was planning to retire, but then her cat got cancer or something and she took out a $5,000 loan to pay for "cat cancer treatment", which of course didn't work and the furball died a few months later anyway. Several years later she is still working and can't afford to retire. Topkek!

Stop feeding dry food. Especially to cats. Thats how they develop problems with their kidneys that get way more expensive, other than the already expensive teeth cleaning that becomes necessary and worse the more you feed dry food. Dry food is the worst for pets, period.

To answer your original post, yes you can clean your cats teeth with a pick and a dose of trazadone, but its still going to be a bitch getting the back teeth, which im guessing are the ones that need the cleaning if your cats mouth really stinks.

Alcohol wipes to clean your pick.
Tissues to help collect the plaque that you’re picking off, as well as to wipe drool.
And keep your cats head in a position so they don’t choke on their spit while your cleaning.


At the end of the day though, and i cant stress this enough, stop feeding your cats dry food. If you want to have pets that get sick and need to get checked up by a vet then keep feeding them that crap.

As much as i hate agreeing with them, some of the other anons are right that if you cant afford taking care of a pet then you shouldn’t have them. If you cant afford good, clean, healthy food for ALL of your pets then you shouldn’t have them.

They free feed dry food and get like 2.6oz of canned food a day each. So like 3 cans across the 5 of them a day, i do that because i know that they need the extra hydration.

>>57597798
Normally it was like 200-300 for their checkups and a cleaning avg per year, plus about 300 for their flea tick meds since i work outside a ton, and another like 300-400 a year per year per cat in various food. I'm about the avg spending per pet which is like 70-800 a year. I love animals and I fostered these guys and consider it my charity to the world since us humans are ultimately responsible for them since we domesticated them.

I share the cost in a household of like 125k income.

I used to work at a veterinary hospital so i can chime in

Your biggest risk is killing or injuring the cat with the anesthesia . I don’t know how Traz will affect the cat , at our clinic the Doc used K , but not pure K , it was mixed with something else .

Dosing will be a very significant challenge because 1) cats don’t weigh very much and 2) the drug won’t kick in right away and 3) it could wear off in the middle of the procedure

I cannot overstate this . You run a very serious risk killing your cat with the anesthesia .

Blood is normal during dental work and many teeth will be in state of decay . The doctors are very rough to get off the plaque , be careful not to accidentally break the teeth !

Usually a blood test is performed before the dental procedure to see if they will bleed out too much or otherwise unfit to receive the procedure , but you will be flying blind .

You also don’t know how Traz affects the kidneys and liver as it gets metabolized in cats

All in all i think you are seriously underestimating how risky this is . At a minimum you need to read research papers on dosing cats vs their weight , the time the effects of the drug peak , and its half-life

The cat should NEVER be on its back during this , only on its side

Yeah you’re probably gonna kill the cat , go to the doctor
