Is anesthesia safe for my senior dog with cancer and liver disease?

Question

12 1/2 yo beagle, has bladder cancer and liver disease. She now has developed a bad tooth. I know it should be extracted but I’m worried about the anesthesia. She is taking Denamarin and Endofoxacin. Thank you in advance. Pet's info: Dog | Beagle | Female | spayed | 14 years and 7 months old | 29 lbs

I recommend a veterinary exam to check how infected the tooth is. If they listen to her heart and it is fine and her blood work is stable they may be able to do light sedation only and remove the infected tooth. Bad teeth are very painful and also the dental infection can worsen the liver problem so extracting it if it can be done safely would be my recommendation.
