UPDATE 2 Smokey not doing well...
I know this is late, but here goes:
Took her in Tuesday am, picked her back up in the afternoon. They pulled 4 (FOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!) lower molars, and gave us more antib's to give her to help her tongue (and the holes in her jaw where her teeth used to be). She will likely have to be on soft food for the rest of her life as they don't make dentures for cats (do they?). Poor girl was STARVING when we got her home, but her mouth hurt too much to eat (and she was still groggy and stumbly from the anesthetic)! She was finally able to eat the next morning, and boy did she ever! We still have her isolated in the laundry room, and they want to see her in about a month for a follow up. Hopefully the ulcers on her tongue are gone by then. Magic Mood Jeep © wrote: She has a couple bad teeth (one they will try to get out next week). Ulcers on her tongue - near the back, right side (right next to the really bad tooth). She has oral AntiBs for the ulcers, and I take her in next Tuesday to see about maybe getting the bad tooth out. Other than that, she was fine, if a bit raggedy looking - with a sore tongue, she's not wanting to clean herself very well - and I don't blame her one bit! Heck, if I bite my tongue by accident, I don't want to talk for an hour or more afterwards. We have been feeding her Wellness pouched food (only food she shows an interest in, although she will eat other canned if we leave it out for her, but the Wellness pouches she digs into right away), and they said as long as it's what she eats..... Magic Mood Jeep © wrote: Ol' Toofless is not very well. She's not eating much, except gushy food. and her fur is looking unkempt, she's also drooling a lot. Time for the old girl to go to the TED.... hopefully it's not soimething too bad (maybe just a(nother) bad tooth?)... -- ^..^ This is Kitty.

Our Chloe had all her teeth out except for the little ones at the front. She was crunching biscuits the afternoon she got back from the vet. She's FAR happier and friendlier now it's been done. ==== j a c k at c a m p i n . m e . u k === http://www.campin.me.uk ==== Jack Campin, 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland == mob 07800 739 557 CD-ROMs and free stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, and Mac logic fonts |
