Juni-Get-Down had three teeth extracted today!

Poor widdle Juni-Get-Down! I hope by now you are feeling a bit better.
When Max last went in he had 3 toofies removed including an upper and lower fang on the same side as well as a couple in the back. He was right back to normal after about 4 days or so.

SAS: I too, had to laugh at the yogurt trick!

ES: At least you had the nerve to ask. I never even broached the subject with Max.

Juni is up and about. I have had to say "get down" oh, at least 10 times today. Mostly the kitchen counter and waiting to see if any food COULD be hers. I am trying to keep her appetite up, so that when she is fed wet food, her fav, she will gobble it up/down, along with the medication. I suppose the other two fur faces won't be harmed by eating a little medication....along with the Fancy Feast.....Gourmet flavors....

Thanks for all the kind words.

The gentle billing couldn't have been better timed. My previous visit with Chloe for her annual checkup and shots went less than smoothly. There was a new vet (partner) and staff and boy were they NOT friendly. Chloe growled the entire time. They didn't talk to her or pet her...just serviced her, if you will. I was going to complain but decided I wasn't going to switch clinics because of one bad experience and that I would just ask to see a particular vet....not the unfriendly one. I thought it would be best to let someone else complain for a change.

Again, thanks for all the get well wishes for Ms. Busy Paws aka Juni Get Down. She is one tough cookie. And she is loved.

Glad Juni is feeling better! Poor girl, losing 3 teeth, that had to have hurt. I've only ever had my wisdom teeth pulled (and that was last year), and it was not a pleasant experience, even with the valium and pain meds they gave me to take at home (pain meds, not valium, lol).

My Honeybun needs to have a dental done badly. He's FIV+, and FIV+ kitties are known to have bad teeth. His breath could wake the dead, and he drools. I so need to save money up to get that done, but have to make sure I can pay my mortgage first... darn FMLA... it's blessing and a curse, but glad it's done with now!

Good luck with brushing Juni's teeth! I haven't brushed my guys teeth, and not sure they'd allow it either!

About vets... the one vet I go to has a great bedside manner with the kitties, and he's really easy on the eyes as well. The other vet is great with the feral and hard to deal with kitties, and she's fantastic, but she did scare the bejesus out of a few of my kitties before. Had one pee all over the table with her! I felt so bad for him, he was a sensitive boy and not one for being manhandled!
