A class III surgical candidate typically refers to an animal with moderate systemic disease that may increase surgical risk. In this scenario, the one-year-old healthy cat and the one-year-old dog are likely lower-risk candidates for surgery. However, the ten-year-old poodle with severe gingivitis might face higher risks during dental procedures due to age and dental disease, and the three-year-old dog’s orchidectomy would generally be considered a routine procedure with manageable risk. Overall, the suitability for surgery depends on the individual health status and pre-anesthetic evaluation of each animal.
