I know you are worried but try to relax a little. My vet also will call if something comes up during a procedure and it is nice to be totally aware of what is going on. When Ripley was being neutered he discovered a baby tooth that never fell out and had the tech call for permission to remove it at the same time.Originally Posted by caseysmom
Ripley just had his dental yesterday. I hadn't fed him since 6:00PM the night before (they requested nothing after 8:00 but I was being even more careful.) Well, Ripley gets car sick so as he was being admitted he threw up and there was a tiny bit of undigested kibble in it. The technician quizzed me about when he had eaten, etc. and I told her and she let him stay.
When I went to pick him up the vet told me that would most likely throw up a couple of times if I gave him more than 1/4 cup of water at a time at home due to the drugs. He was right. Each time I offered Ripley a very small amount of water but he brought it back up.I withheld it for longer intervals and he did just fine. We are both hoping that Casey will soon be good as new. I know you are worried but I am sure they are being very careful with your sweetie.
By the way, tell Bubba that Ripley had to leave a few teeth behind this time around (we knew it ahead of time). He too has been placed on an antibiotic just as a precaution. Ripley said to tell Casey to be aware if she is offered small hot dog pieces as he has been finding a pill in his!![]()
