Fister is going to have a few teeth pulled... Update with pics!

Medusa, it's comforting to know that Pidge handled it so well. I wonder if there are different kinds of anesthesia.

Y'know, I'm not sure about that but what I like about my vet is that he has an anesthesiologist so that he can focus on just performing the surgery. So maybe the anesthesiologist can adjust the anesthesia as necessary. Just an assumption on my part.

Randi, I'm so glad to hear that everything went well and that Fister is now home. Please give him some extra loving for me.

I'm sorry I didn't see this until just now but am so very glad that Fister is home and on the mend!!! When he feels better please give him a head kiss from me!

Thank you all!

He crawled from the under the bed to under the cupboard a few hours ago, but when I came with some yummy Gourmet wet food I had bought in England, he wiggled himself out and ate it all - OK, it was just half a small can, but I bet he must be hungry.

An hour later, I put a few dry treats for him, very small ones, and I stayed to watch him eat them. It's now 8.30 PM and he still hasn't been drinking. A little while ago, he managed to walk a little bit, in a fairly straight line. He stopped every two meters to rest. One time I carried him to his litterbox, but he was not interested, he walked away. When I did the dishes, he came wandering into the kitchen and miawed for the first time - he even looked at the door! I have now lifted him onto my bed again, so I'll go back and shower him with more kisses.

I feel pretty exhausted, so the pics or video will have to wait untl tomorrow.

I think the eating is the most important thing- he will take all the liquid from the wet food and drink later.
Good to hear he's looking at the door again

Stir in a bit of warm water to the wet food, til he is drinking water again. Wonderful that he is home safe!
