Kiri's getting her bad tooth out today.

[Prairie Purrs]

Kiri is at the vet's for extraction of her bad tooth. I'm hoping that removal of the tooth will make it easier for her to eat and that she'll put on some more weight--she's still awfully thin.

She's been doing well during our "transitional" period (Kiri, Kacey, Lily and I have taken over the two upstairs rooms at my parents' house until I get a home purchase closed). She's acting much more like her old, pre-kidney-failure self: doing her funny little stretch where she'll reach one paw out into the air in front of her, grooming Kacey, scratching on the Turbo-Scratcher.

Please keep my little girl in your thoughts today.

Prayers for Kiri! If the vet thinks she is ready, that is a good sign. AND her getting a little frisky!

I hope she really starts becoming a little piggy! :)

Best wishes for a smooth extraction of that tooth! I really hope she'l start eating more after this and gain some weight. It's good to hear she's getting more frisky. :)

Kiri came through her dental procedure fine. She's home and resting, still a bit groggy.

Her bloodwork--including kidney levels--looked good. Her weight was up just a little bit from couple of weeks ago--not by much, but up is better than down.

Thanks, Catty and Randi, for your prayers and well-wishes. And thanks to everyone who has kept my tabby girl in your heart!

Glad to hear Kiri is doing well. It can be scary, I know, but our furkids are tougher than we sometimes give them credit for.

I hope she'll be eating like crazy soon...she will be hungry when the anesthetic wears off.

hugs little Kiri!

Oh Kiri, your mouth will be a bit sore for a day or two, but the good news is Mom has to give you that soft smelly yummy food (not much nutrition but great taste!) After that you will really feel lots better sweetie!

So glad to hear she's doing OK and her bloodwork is OK.

Now, Kiri, you eat up now that it won't hurt any more! Put some meat on those bones!

I'm glad to hear that her dental went well and that she's now home.:) I hope that she has a quick recovery and starts gaining some weight.:)
