Does anyone know of a good full-service place vet in the East valley that is affordable for dental surgery? We tried one of those low cost places and though it was a good place, it didn't work out as they are limited in what they can do. I have a senior with a tooth infection in the very back of her mouth. She is now on antibiotics to help clear up the infection and we need to give the antibiotics a few days to start working before we take her in to have her dental surgery.
An affordable full-service vet was recommended by the low-cost place, but when I called the other place, they required she be up-to-date on ALL her vaccinations and not just the rabies. I find this troubling as my choices are to either vaccinate her while she's already fighting a tooth infection now or wait until the day of surgery and they will do it that day and i don't think it is in her best interest, especially since she's a senior. Plus, vaccinating her any time between now and then isn't going to protect her until 2 weeks after the vaccination anyway. My dogs are on an every-other-year vaccine schedule and she's not due for another 6 months as we want to avoid over-vaccinating our pets. Not sure why the low-cost place would only require rabies while the full service vet requires everything?? Maybe there's another affordable place that only requires the rabies?
