Thank you everyone, Nikki came home at 6pm last night, she was still woozy from it all, even though it had been four hours, her back legs were wobbly, she was very dis-orientated, and spent at least the next four hours trying to get outside,not happening, all my cats stay indoors at night before dark,she was not in the least bit tired,she ate a little, kept going in the litter box doing nothing and even lay in it, very odd, never seen her do that before and finally presented a nice big pee, she also drank water, all good signs, and eventually was happy to see us, purring a very loud purr and nudging us as she normally does.

Today she seems really good, pretty much her normal self, however not big on the eating department, tried her on several foods, has a lick and that is about all, she was my biscuit only girl really, and had only been eating soft foods recently because her mouth was sore, so hoping she will start eating better soon.

She is much happier today and pleased to be home again.

So fingers and all paws crossed her appetite picks up .

Thanks again for all the prayers, well wishes, much appreciated, the power of PT never ceases to amaze me.

I don't know if we have laser treatment for animals here, i will ask next time,we do have it for humans though, so it is a possibility.

Glad to hear Nikki came through so well!

Did the vet send any painkillers home with her? I am sure she will eat better as she heals in the next day or so.

Do you have any chicken baby food she might lap up?

Hugs to dear Nikki and glad she will be rid of her pain.

yes she had a pain relief injection at the vets, it lasts quite some time, she did eat a little more today, but not much, but enough i think, she seems happy enough today,hears the birds on the roof in our bedroom and very keen to get out there.

Did i mention that the bill was very reasonable, we were quoted 235 with a 40 dollar discount as dental month there, but it was only 180, i was stoked,thought it would be more as she needed three teeth out instead of one, but all done within ten minutes, goes by how long it takes and the quote for her gas was way higher,she needed about half that, so all good, bit of a relief moneywise and much more of a relief knowing Nikki will be pain free soon as she heals.

I have no chicken baby food, but will get some, and some more food tomorrow, i have just about every choice you can imagine here,i have sachets,tin food, dry food, pet milk,raw meat,fancy feast,whiskas,purina,etc etc, as Ash and Ellie are really fussy because of their conditions, Ash with CRF and Ellie Chronic gingivitis, so variety is not the problem, they all just very fussy,now Lexie is another story i have to ward her off, she will eat everything they leave over, and she is not supposed to as on special diet for her Urinary stones, typical isn't it?

I'm glad everything worked out well for Nikkita. I wish I could go to a dentist and get knocked out everytime

Of course though there are risks to that.

I hope she has a restful weekend.

she was a bit low yesterday and had started sneezing a bit, well two to be exact, but I was concerned, however she seems ok today, and much better, still eating, not a lot but enough, she is a rather rotund little girl anyhow, so it won't harm her to loose a little, she be happier once she can eat her biscuits again i imagine.

She was very smoochy yesterday, she does not like being held much ,but tolerates it, but yesterday she was snuggling into my arms, so cute.

She was still recovering yesterday from it all, but certainly much more herself today.

Melissa i had the knock out treatment for my teeth,(intravenous sedation) and it did not go well, and the recovery a day later was just awful, so sometimes it can be just as bad if not worse really.

Anyhow will be taking Nikki back on Wed for her check up, oh my she will hate that trip, poor girl be so scared, so hopefully the healing process is going well.

She is looking so good right now, i have been daily grooming her, as i discovered she loves being brushed and her coat is just gleaming.
