I took my 5-year old miniature schnauzer into the vet 2 weeks ago in order to get his teeth checked. He told me that my dog should get a cleaning, but that I should wait for a couple of months until they have a discount on that procedure. Following his advice, I decided to wait. Yesterday my dog's mouth started emmitting a putrid odor, so, I took him back to the vet this morning. A different vet, at the same clinic, is now telling me that he has a massive infection in his teeth and gums and that he may need to have up to 4 of his teeth pulled! Should the vet have recognized this and at least told me that this was a possibility during the first visit? Should I hold this clinic responsible?, and, if so, what should I do?
