OK
Has anyone here had a cat that lost its sense of smell?
Do they eat again?
Pyka might come home tomorrow. He will still have the feeding tube in his neck () and will be syringed through that.
He will still be on morphine, and was SO confused when we visited him the other day....though he stopped 'honking' once we were alone with him for a while.
ANYWAY - post-op home care worry...the morphine.
And the surgeon said she couldn't guarantee his sense of smell would be there any more. Surely he WILL eat again?
Any ideas? Tips? Kind of scary as we are both new at this severity of surgery.
I feel that, even if he is wiped out on morphine, that him being home will settle him more and he is more likely to eat.
His blood work shows he is a bit jaundiced, though his liver function is just fine. Any thoughts on that?
ALSO - is there a good soft kibble made for cats who have hardly any teeth?? It's congenital - Pyka and Shiney both have just their fangs left.
HELP.
