Fister is going to have a few teeth pulled... Update with pics!

Thank you all! :)

He crawled from the under the bed to under the cupboard a few hours ago, but when I came with some yummy Gourmet wet food I had bought in England, he wiggled himself out and ate it all - OK, it was just half a small can, but I bet he must be hungry.

An hour later, I put a few dry treats for him, very small ones, and I stayed to watch him eat them. It's now 8.30 PM and he still hasn't been drinking. A little while ago, he managed to walk a little bit, in a fairly straight line. He stopped every two meters to rest. One time I carried him to his litterbox, but he was not interested, he walked away. When I did the dishes, he came wandering into the kitchen and miawed for the first time - he even looked at the door! :rolleyes: I have now lifted him onto my bed again, so I'll go back and shower him with more kisses. :love:

I feel pretty exhausted, so the pics or video will have to wait untl tomorrow. ;)

I think the eating is the most important thing- he will take all the liquid from the wet food and drink later.
Good to hear he's looking at the door again;)

Stir in a bit of warm water to the wet food, til he is drinking water again. Wonderful that he is home safe!:)

:D:D:D

After anesthesia Evie walked around like a little drunk:D she was so tipsy but of course, we tried not to laugh:rolleyes: too hard, that is:p

Once she got her appetite back she actually ate more than she should have in the first day but all was well:)

I'm so glad the Fister man is home with his mommy and getting lots of cuddles:D By tommorrow he will be feeling so much better and so will you:love:

After he finished his Gourmet food, I did put some water in the bowl, but at that time, he was not interested. Then, an hour ago, I sat by him on the bed with a glass of water and practically dipped his nose in it - and he drank some. :p He is also able to shift position now, wihout falling over. He can even lay in a tortellini position now! :D So in a few hours, he'll probably wander out to his litterbox - and then start miawing all night.

So, I have transferred the pictures....

I’ll start with a sweet picture of him from the evening before, sitting next to the keyboard - having no clue what hell he had to go through yesterday.

Then, this is an hour before the dreaded box - he does look slightly suspicious, and he did run under the bed before I got him, so I had to chase him out in the kitchen, where my friend was ready to close the door.

Now, this is my poor boy after he came back, he looks so patetic. :( He was trying to get his spot on my bed and I put him there right after these pictures.

I felt so bad seeing him like this. :( The vet had given him an extra shot to wake up quicker, but I don’t think it helped much.

Around 8.00 PM I gave him a little plate of some yummy food, that was after I had put him on the floor - I was afraid he would try to jump down while I was in the kitchen.

So here’s Fister eating - he had quite an appetite and managed very well. :)

A video clip in next post....

The last one is the video clip from when he came home. He was determined to go to the bedroom, and I feel bad I didn’t lift him right away, but since I had the camera ready, I filmed him.

He is back to normal today, and we have spent a lot of time cuddling. :)

So glad to hear you are doing well Fister. I just want to give you big hugs seeing those pictures. You're a beautiful kitty!

:eek:

POOR Fis! :(

That WAS kind of a *Ruff Trip* from the un-crating to the BigBed room ...
good thing there weren't any more doors that you had to bounce your way through! :p

Musta been really good *stuff* the Vet gave you for knock-out drops!

:D

Ah Fister! Poor little thing. The stumbles without the "getting drunk" phase....Edwina was like that once and I felt so horrible. Just like Fister....what is wrong with me???? Why???:confused::confused:

Glad his appetite is back. Hopefully he will forget all about it. Cuddles to you baby boy!

The video brought tears to my eyes. But I'm glad to hear he is doing much better now.
Please give him some pats and scritchies from me. :)

It's so sad to see our babies with the 'third eyelid' - they look so sad...glad he is feeling better. He is such a special handsome boy. Am glad to hear you BOTH are catching up on cuddling! :love:

I got dizzy just WATCHING Fister try to walk. :( But I have seen them like this.....it is always pathetic. But they get over it fast enough. And then they are as ood as new. ;)

Glad you had a goodd appetite afterwards.....was it SO bad that you had to stick your tongue out ?? :p

Awwww! Poor boy! He looks so pitiful it almose made me cry...

Fister, hope you get to feeling better really soon! My heart goes out to you in that condition.

Poor baby Fister looks so pitiful in the video. It's really good that he
was able to eat afterwards. Hope he can rest easy now & feel so much
better later on.

Poor Fister.:( I'm so glad that he's back to normal now.:) I was lucky in that by the time I picked up Storm, the anesthesia had worn off so he was able to walk normally.

Awe... poor Fister! So many doorways to try to get through, poor thing! Glad he has recovered and is feeling better! He's such a handsome boy, I'm glad he got through the surgery well!

As usual I cannot see the video but the pictures tell the story. I always wonder how they can be suspicious that early - but they sure can:rolleyes:

Had I not seen him like that before, I would have freaked out, but a few hours after this, he could walk fairly straight. :) And he certainly had an appetite! :)

I did ask the vet to give him as little as possible, and I asked if he could give him something that wore off quicker - he said he would. But this time I came to take him home quicker, so that's why he was still so affected.

Today, it's like he's forgotten all about it and he seems quite happy and is demanding as usual. :D

Barbara, I thought you (and others) would be able to view the video, since I uploaded to Photobucket, but that's obviously not the case. I'm going to try as an mpg-4.

Hi Randi and Fister,

Poor Fister all woozie and wobbly. Eve was exactly the same after her dental. We had to follow her everywhere to make sure she didn't fall down the stairs:eek:

I'm glad that he is feeling better and I'm sure today is a much better day:)

Hugs to both, Betty

So glad to hear Fister is feeling better now and that the dental surgery went well!

HURRAY FOR FISTER !!! I am glad he is back to normal

Fister I am so happy you are feeling better. There some veterans of tooth pulling on here, JJJ3 and John Hancock amongst them. I'm glad you're on the mend and getting back to your old self. Kisses :love:

I just saw the video now...Randi, you sound so sad as Fister weaves along, bumping into a wall - :( - but then you caught up with him and gave him a good head rub and he responded to that - he knew he was home with Mom! :love::love:
Glad he is all better.:)

Randi, just wanted to say that this is the first time I was able to view one
of your videos. (in photobucket) So I have the opposite problem from
Barbara.:confused: Anyway, I'm glad to hear Fister is back to his old self
now.:)
