Nakita's Health Update - **The saga continues...update..post #146**

[RedHedd]

Mitzi shares Nakita's pain. She had to have three teeth extracted at her dental last week. She's taking her sweet time bouncing back, although she's thoroughly enjoying the all wet-food diet.

I do hope that whatever is going on with Nakita is easy to treat. Hopefully the dental work will help. I had no idea Mitzi's teeth were that bad either - they are experts at hiding discomfort.

I know you'll keep us posted. Prayers going out your way for a speedy recovery.

Sweetie - with all the pain and possibly infection in her teeth, for quite some time, it could be as simple as the dental problem that caused everything. And it is NOT your fault!

Sometimes vets DON'T always check, and they should. I know there was a pet in our family - my parents or mine, I forget - and we were STUNNED that some teeth needed to be extracted! This pet had had regular checkups - and the vets never said anything...so how were to know? And how were you?

I suspect that's why they want Nakita to come back for more bloodwork - in case the dental situation skewed the results from the pre-op.

I believe that with healed teeth, Nakita will be a new cat!

PRAYERS and HUGS!!!!!

I've been thinking about you and Nakita. Don't blame yourself. You can only do so much and it really sounds like you have done that and 100% over. I hope your little fur baby feels better. My prayers for you and Nakita.

I will definitely be keeping you and Nakita in my thoughts and prayers!

Kass, I'm so sorry to hear that Nakita needed to have 2 teeth extracted but please don't blame yourself. My Storm had to have 1 tooth extracted last year and the vet had only told me that he had some tartar and some gingivitis but that his teeth looked very good. They sometimes can't tell until the cat is put under anesthesia. I sure hope that these extractions will now solve Nakita's problems. I also hope that her next blood test will come back normal. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent her way. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

I am so sorry to hear this. I have two kitties with teeth problems, so I know that you cannot see anything and cannot detect much in behavior.
Tigris also lost two teeth up to now- although we clean every one and a hlaf year.

I keep my fingers crossed for the bloodwork.

Oh Nakita, you worry us so much, little girl!

Oh Nakita, you had to have some teeth out, that really sucks. But nevermind your meowmie is trying hard to make you feel better and doing all she can.
I'm thinking of you and hope you have a nice stress free Christmas, that's what such a beautiful girl deserves

We will all be thinking of you and your beautiful girl! I am so hoping that Nakita will get over this (last!) hurdle and really start to feel better.

Please let us know what Friday brings.
