I couldn't help and now wondering if Bernie would blame the decision made by me and the vet back 2 years ago, i.e., if the lower teeth were removed 2 yr. ago, he would most likely be alive, as he most likely can deal w/ the GA at age 3 better than age 5.5
Going back to do the soul searching, I really think his lower corresponding teeth should have be removed back in Oct 2008. There is no way to know for sure if he can make thru a full GA, but he did make thru the teeth trim under an ultra short GA back in Oct 26, 2008. Needless to say, the chance of her make thru a full GA is higher back in Oct. 2008 than about 1.5 yr. later.
