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

Thank you for your good thoughts, I'm sure they helped.

Fister has been back for an hour, but is still not out of the anethesia, but it went well. :) He had two teeth pulled.

I was sure he wouldn't/couldn't jump out of the box when we got home, but he did! The poor boy was trying to get to the bedroom. He could hardly walk. So I carried him and put him on my bed and I've been laying there next to him since. Just now, while I was out here, he had crawled to the edge of the bed, so I put him on the floor, so he won't fall down. He's now under the bed.

The vet gave me some pills to give him, they're called Antirobe Vet. I'm to give him one in the morning and one in the evening, for 8 days.

When he got out of the box, I had my camera ready, so maybe later I'll post a video.

I'm so relieved it went well! :)

Good to hear this! Fister will probably be walking around for a while looking like he has had "one too many." LOL! Looking forward to the video! ;)

Glad it all went well Randi. Poor wobbly Fister, he will probably just want to sleep the rest of the day away. Hope you manage those pills tomorrow. Do let us know how he behaves himself. :D

Barbara, thank you, and I hope so too! Filou is about the same age as Fister, as far as I remember.

Should I let him drink during the night?

NO FOOD OR WATER!!! I'm sure the vet will use the least amount of anesthesia needed to get the teeth out!

HUGS,
Kim

OOPS! I just saw that Fister is out and doing well! YAY!!! ;)

Oh, Randi, I'm so very happy to hear it went well. :)

Y'know, I'm not sure about that but what I like about my vet is that he has an anesthesiologist so that he can focus on just performing the surgery. So maybe the anesthesiologist can adjust the anesthesia as necessary. Just an assumption on my part. :confused:

Randi, I'm so glad to hear that everything went well and that Fister is now home.:) Please give him some extra loving for me.:)

I'm glad he's home!
:D

I'm sorry I didn't see this until just now but am so very glad that Fister is home and on the mend!!! When he feels better please give him a head kiss from me! :)

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.
