Greyhounds make fantastic pets! If only their oral health was just as good… Are you worried about hyperkalemia with your greyhound GAs? How about concerns regarding bleeding during and after Greyhound surgery? Why do greyhound canine teeth frequently look so strange, and why are they so damn hard to extract? Ever found yourself in a position where you scaled that greyhound’s teeth 3 months ago, and the client is already calling up complaining that the gums are bleeding again and their breath can clear the MCG? These questions and more will be answered by Dr Kevin Ng, WA’s only specialist veterinary dentist, during this hour-long guide to taking the stress out of greyhound anaesthesia and dental procedures. Our approach to greyhound anaesthesia, intra-operative electrolyte monitoring, managing intraoperative bleeding and preventing fibrinolysis will be covered, as well as oral pathology that greyhounds seem prone to, such as hypercementosis and stomatitis, and their treatment. Finally, a refresher on maxillary and mandibular canine extraction will also be included as extraction of these challenging teeth is one of the most stressful aspects of greyhound dentistry.
