Hello, this is about my little old man ferret, Frank. (yeah, Frank Fert!!) He is having a bit of build up on his teeth, but i'm reluctant to take him in for teeth cleaning as he is a little old man with adrenal disease. He is 7 1/2 years old right now. I'm not sure if it would be such a good thing for him to go under anaesthesia (sp?) at this point. There are no sharp edges, the plaque is smooth, but his gums are red. He lets me brush them, (it was interesting the first few times) and they bled a little. they are not so bad now. Is there a better way to keep the build up from happening and is it safe for my little old man to have a cleaning at this point in his life? He's such a sweetheart, I just worry because he's getting older. Cindy [Posted in FML 6365]
