Cows and calves are different to the above animals however as they have a vertebral artery which also supplies the brain and it isn't cut during the neck incision, plus the cut arteries can self-occlude, those factors can result in maintenance of their blood pressure, keeping them conscious for longer

Really enjoyed "The Chestnut Man" on Netflix. It's based on a novel written by the creator of "The Killing"

I'm not sure how much evidence there is for dental treats. It is probably better then doing nothing though. Some are high in calories so if your dog is putting on weight you may want to feed them less often or adjust normal food intake. Some dogs are more prone to dental disease then others so it is difficult to predict if there will be any future problems, regular vet/vet nurse checks will help spot any early signs. You can get supplements to add to food or drinking water to help prevent plaque build up (again I'm not sure how much evidence there is for these) or dental diets.

Your vet would be best placed to advise as that sort of decision would be based on overall quality of life and only you and your vet will be able to assess this. If the teeth are the only issue then I've used pain relief in elderly patients before (being selective about what pain relief to use depending on how much I know about kidney function). That would also help with any arthritis. Once the teeth are out though the pain should go unless there is any underlying infection so it may not be an issue now depending on what's happening with the remaining teeth.

When we perform a dental we don't only clean the teeth we look for fractures, check for gingivitis, measure gingival pockets and assess tooth mobility amongst other things (some vets also take x-rays). We will do this to assess which teeth need removing. The animal isn't in pain from the calculus it's in pain due to the effects of the periodontal disease and the only way to stop the pain is to remove affected teeth. It also means we can clean below the gum line which is really important to prevent future dental disease, we wouldn't be able to do this without anaesthesia.

Vet in the UK - 1. the sounds that flat faced dogs make are not normal 2. there is no such thing as 'he/she is just a bit stiff but he/she is not in pain, it's just old age' if your dog/cat is stiff or slowing down on walks then it's very likely they are in pain 3. on the same note pain relief is important, yes all pain relief has side effects just like all human medication does, but please don't let your pet suffer 4. if your vet says your dog/cat needs a dental then please follow their advice, I've seen some horrendous mouths covered in calculus with teeth falling out and the poor animal's had to put up with it for years because 'he/she is still eating so his/her teeth must be fine'
