I don't really understand the drugs and symptoms you are discussing
so I will stay away from that part. But, for the teeth cleaning, it
should be much cheaper if he is already under anesthesia. My vet
charges about $90 to clean teeth but a good half of that is for the
iso. Any time mine have to be anesthetized for something I always
tell them to clean their teeth if they need it. Cuts the price down
considerably. I would ask again about the cost.

Two years is a long time. I have some who get grungy within a few
months. Others can go a lot longer between cleanings.
