Good Vibes to you Walker. It's too bad they don't make dentures for kitties like do for hoo-mans, huh?
On the bright side Walker... YOU get canned food.... mmmmm!

Our Mama sends warm hugs to the Kitty Daddy... Good Vibes to the both of you.

i just got the call from the vet! Walker lost all his canine teeth and all his little teeth,He did manage to keep some of the insizors(spelling)he is awake and alert and will be able to come home in 2 hours and 30 mins.I am so relieved!!!Now only if i can get his anti biotics down...I been putting in tuna and inducing him to eat them.Anyone else have any other ideas on how to get him to eat it?

**Tubby & Peanut's Mom** · 12-12-2005, 12:19 PM

The only way I could get Tubby to take pills was to do the ol' "open up and shove 'em in" technique.

Amazingly he tolerated this really well for over 3 1/2 years. Don't know if this will work on Walker though, since I'm sure his mouth will be sore for awhile.... I say if tuna works, go for it!

So glad everything went well and he'll be home soon!

Poor Walker! I'm glad to hear he did well though and will soon be back home!
Give him gentle huggies for me!
