I'm also wondering if this is just for a cleaning, or if there is something more serious going on. If your dog has painful dental issues, it would be in her best interest to have them addressed. Dental pain can be some of the worst pain around. With a complete pre-surgery exam, including blood work and a urinalysis, and proper monitoring while under anesthesia, risks can be minimized. It would be kinder to euthanize your dog than let her suffer in pain if her teeth are so bad that the SPCA had to get involved. However, if it's just a matter of cleaning her teeth, well that's simply ridiculous! I'd get an opinion from another vet and then send them the bill.
