Dental Cleanings and Declawing Double Standards

There is a post from a veterinarian on the AVMA’s facebook page that is causing a big uproar and it’s all about standards, ethics, and poor medical care.
The topic is non-anesthesia dental cleaning.

Thank You Dr. King

He was a great man. A humanitarian, a civil rights activist, and an inspiring leader with integrity and honor.

I’m Sorry

Dear friend,

I’m sorry.

Yesterday you sent me a note and spoke from your heart. You told me how you feel.

You’re probably not alone. I know you meant well, but it hurt.

Declawing is NOT recommended for human health issues

Some unethical pro-declaw veterinarians promote amputating kitties toes to stop cat scratch fever or disease. These are the simple facts about this disease and according to all the modern thinking, educated, and humane veterinarians and human health experts, declawing should NEVER be done for any reason, including this cat scratch fever disease.
