Dr. Feeman just called me and all of Puddy's numbers are elevated, every single one of 'em. He said that, since he isn't the one who examined Puddy yesterday and he didn't see her teeth and mouth, he's deferring to Dr. Lee as to whether or not anesthetizing her is recommended. Sigh. I already know that my time w/Puddy is limited; I operate on instinct and my instincts are telling me not to do it, unless Dr. Lee says that it's absolutely imperative. I doubt that he will, though, because he talked to me yesterday about alternatives w/out cleaning her teeth. Until I hear from him, though, I won't make that decision because I trust him totally and, seeing that he had reservations about anesthesia, if he says to go ahead, then that will mean that Puddy really needs her teeth cleaned. Puddy is quite vocal when she's in pain and she hasn't cried at all, so I think she's perhaps uncomfortable. Since my gums have been giving me trouble lately, I can relate to what she's experiencing. It isn't painful, just a little uncomfortable. Pidge's blood work wasn't back yet, so Dr. Feeman told me that he'd call me tonight, if he got the results and, if not, tomorrow Dr. Lee will call w/the news and also about Puddy. So again, I wait. Not my favorite thing, waiting. But I have no choice.
