Barny Is Under Anesthesia

[K & L]

Hi Everyone
So far so good. Barny had to have 13 teeth extracted. I still don't understand why some cats are prone to teeth problems while others aren't. All are cats are on the same diet, and yet a few have had this problem. Makes me feel like a bad parent. Anyway Barny can come home this evening as long as there isn't any extensive bleeding or other signs of problems. He will be on antibiotics and pain meds for a few days. Thanks for all the well wishes. I'm off to trap where I work. What a way to spend your wedding anniversary!

Well, just like people, some cats have genes for GOOD teeth and some don't . Hopefully he'll be home and as good as new very soon.

13 teeth!??!?!? Poor little Barny, but I'm glad he came through it with flying colors. He sure is a cutie pie.

Congratulations on your anniversary! Did you get the gift you were looking for (a cat in the trap)?

Yes! I got THREE! They're off to the clinic and will be released back here at work tomorrow morning! Number is up to the 30's now.

13 teeth??? OMG, how much are still there? I have NO idea how many teeth a cat has
How old is Barny now?

Poor Barny - 13 teeth!!

I don't know why some cats are prone to bad teeth, Maybe it has something to do with their immune system, or with being seperated from their mother at a too young age.

My Katz started losing her teeth at the age of 7, and by the age of ten, she had no teeth left except for three canines. She had no problems eating, though, but developed a heart disease later (which can be a result of bad teeth), so I'm regularily checking Luna's and Lily's teeth now.

Hope Barny will feel much better now that he's gotten rid of all his bad teeth!

I'm sure it has something to do with heredity. Most our cats were park ferals and no telling what nutrition their moms received before we came along. We try and keep on their teeth, but with 25 cats it's not always easy. I feel lucky that I even notice when one doesn't seem quite themself!

Barny seems to be doing quite well. Hopefully this will ease all his discomfort once healed. Thanks!
