Smitten almost died :'(

No, she's very picky ;) She won't eat most things unless its small enough :rolleyes:

I'm so sorry to hear about Smitten's awful ordeal.:( I'd be very upset too. Prayers and positive thoughts are being sent your way for a quick and full recovery for Smitten. I also hope that the next tooth extraction will go smoothly. Please keep us updated.

Oh poor Smitten...

Cleaning cat's teeth is really a challenge...I can't brush Nellie's teeth either and the chew treats don't work here very good as well:(

I think todays processed food (canned and dry) doesn't lead the cat to chew much compared to the food a wild cat would eat...if Smitten isn't to finicky about food you can try to mix meat chunks in her cat food, then they use their teeth much more to chew the meat in pieces...my sister has added this to her cat's food and it works wonders with the teeth...

I am sorry to hear that Smitten had such a horrible reaction , at the Vets. Poor John Hancock , lost all but 2 of his teeth, It takes time , but he is young and back to eating! At first he got Royal Cnin Baby Kitten Food , but now he eats , what he wants! Good luck with Smitten , Found Cats are praying and puurrring!

I went to see her today. Unfortunatly she doesn't look so good :( She makes a weird gurgley sound - almost like a purr noise (but she doesn't purr, so it's not that) I feel so bad for her..poor thing :(

I am sorry to hear about Smitten. My vet thinks something like that will happen to Felicia. So he wants me to brush her (and Beaus) teeth, but it is too hard for me to do by myself.

Brushing a kitties teeth is not that hard, let them "play" with the toothbrush first. Tony my kitty likes to rub hit teeth on any toothbrush that is left on the sink lol, they have kitty toothbrushes and Tooth Paste at any vet. :) Good luck all my prayer go to your kitty!

I hope Smitten is feeling better!

People can be so very cruel.:mad:

I do hope that everything turns out OK with Smitten. Please keep us posted on how she make outs. I will keep her in my prayers.

how is smitten doing now?

You are not being foolish one BIT! I was a basket case myself when Amy had her surgery, just getting "fixed".. Just ask anybody here how I was... It is not silly to worry about your loved ones and we all do that. (((((Poor SMitten)))))) Hugs and kisses from all the PT'ers and a BIG hug from Amy..

As for the people at work, WHO are they to make jokes at anybody who is upset and worried.. Tells me a lot about their character... I work with 8 to 9 guys and they support me everytime I have a problem with one of my babies and offer me all the comfort and support I need. A few of them have their own "babies" and we just sometimes sit around and talk about them while we are out there. to help us pass time and not miss them so much.

Prayers are allready sent for Smitten!

I am so sorry to read about poor Smitten. We all send our best wishes and prayers for her recovery and a safe second visit.
