That's interesting and I am filing that information. Thanks. But her teeth are not loose at all, and apparently the roots of the canines are very very deep.

Hi Michelle,
 
Do Patches teeth appear to be loose at all?  Ketamine might be a way to go without the risk of general anesthesia as long as the extractions don't require actual surgery.
 
Chappy (FeLV+) was neutered under Ketamine; I didn't want to risk GA with him, but I felt he was really being stressed by being sexually intact.  He was fine with the procedure; he was symptomatic and I did ultimately lose him, but he had no problems tolerating Ketamine.
 
Bleau had an abcessed tooth pulled under Ketamine; he's negative and the tooth was very loose.  The Ketamine doesn't keep them out too long and so for a procedure that is under about 15 minutes, it might be something to consider.
