My poor Shilo . mouth pain.

[jenluckenbach]

Shilo is one of the cats who has had the drastic dental surgeries. He has had all but 1 large canine and a couple very small teeth removed. And the boy still has pain. Sometimes he just SCREAMS for apparently no reason, but I know it is his mouth.

I attempted to give him pain pills, per vet instructions, but the blood curdling screams from him just when I tried to open his mouth were terrible.

So I tried slipping it into his soft food (the pill is 1/4 of a VERY small tablet). It worked 1 day and then he even stopped eating his food.

So he was to the vet today. He now has a pain patch (fentanyl) and he recieved depo injuection to reduce swelling. He is suppose to be feeling better by tonight. I sure hope so.

The pain patch is wrapped around his neck. Kind of hard to see in the photos.

Poor Little Shilo , we hope that the Vet can help Shilo out. As Michael , Joseph and Precious have all gone in for dental I know how painful that can be. I pray its not an infection in his jaw and that he will be all right,
we are sending prayers for Tuxedo Shiloh.

Poor Shilo!

I hope he feels better soon. Maybe he will need antibiotics?

Gentle hugs to beautiful Shilo!

Well, he saw the vet, so I assume it is infammation and not infection. (at least for now)

I am not sure if he will eat tonight or not. I guess tomorrow morning will be a better test.

Poor sweet Shilo. I pray he feels better tomorrow.

I'm sorry to hear that he's in so much pain. I hope that the meds will kick in and that he'll feel much better tomorrow.
