Prayers for my Tabitha Please.... Update #17

Poor baby. Prayers and positive thoughts on the way.

I'm sorry to hear that Tabatha isn't feeling well. I am praying for her health.

First, I am sorry it has taken me so long to update everyone.

We went to the vet first thing this morning, and had to wait about 45 minutes to be seen. She has an infection in her gums, fromthe missing tooth most likely.

Of course, as soon as the vet walked in, Tabitha clamped down her teeth (not while the vets fingers were in there! ) and REFUSED to open her mouth! She is on clavomax (until gone). The vet thinks that will take care of the problem. She wanted to have her come in for a dental once she is better, but when I reminded her that she is 19, she re-thought the idea! She said she HAS done dentals on cats this age, and has had no problems. Her concern is that since Tabby wouldn't actually open her mouth for her, she can't tell the condition of the other teeth! So if the clavomax doesn't work, then we will revisit the idea. But until then, we will wait and watch the swelling go down. My poor baby. She looks so sad. And boy.... is she mad at me since I gave her her first liquid dose! She is now hiding under the bed!

Thanks again for all of your prayers and well wishes! We do truly appreciate it!

Hopefully the meds will clear up the infection. It is so heart breaking when our babies don't feel well. Prayers continuing from Tennessee.

Hey Miss Tabitha, hoping that ouchie tooth ache goes away quickly with the meds. You have to TAKE the meds for them to work, sweetie!

Open your mouth, Tabitha, and you will feel better sooner. Don't get mad at your Meowmie....she loves you and wants you to get better.

Get-well kisses on your furry head!
