Prayers for beautiful Specs! I hope a good cleaning will make him all comfy again.

He sure is a handsome boy. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way.

Dr. Lee said "Well, you were right; it's his teeth". He has a molar w/a hole in it, a cavity, and his gum is pus filled, poor boy. That tooth will come out and possibly another one. I feel so bad. Specs wouldn't let me look way back in his mouth so I had no way of knowing, just went on instinct that it was a bad tooth. Dr. Lee was surprised that Specs doesn't have a systemic infection. I'll pick him at 4:15 today. This is his first time under anesthesia and Dr. Lee said "I've done probably 10,000 of these but anesthesia is always a risk". He's never said that to me before that I can recall so it scared me a little. I hope my boy is going to be ok. He had a rough time for a while after Boo died but he's come around and now he's a really sweet cat. Please keep the prayers going for him.

Specs, time for a dental, and you will feel lots better in 2 or 3 days!

Prayers from RI.

Healing thoughts and prayers going out to Specs. I hope he does well with the anesthesia... I worry about Honeybun with that as well.

Poor baby, hope he gets to feeling better real soon! Prayers on their way!

He's a senior cat now, too, b/c he's 11 years old, at least, that's what we think. When I rescued him in 2002, the local vet approximated his age at 2 years. (Jeez, I had to stop and do some math. I had him at 9 but he'll be 11 going by the month I rescued him, which is February of 2002.) I just feel so bad that he was in pain w/a bad tooth. That's agony. But there really was no way of knowing; I just went on instinct and, thankfully, I got him to the vet on time. He's going to get lots of TLC when he comes home and he'll sleep w/me. That will be a first for him. He likes to sleep inside a carrier. I'll put it in my bedroom for him to make him feel more secure. That way he can either snuggle w/me or burrow into a fluffy towel inside his carrier.

He's in good hands with Dr. Lee and will feel so much better once that tooth is taken care of. Lots of healing thoughts for Specs!

Prayers for Spec are going up. Poor boy, I imagine he'll feel sort of bad for a few days... but in the long run, he will feel so much better & be healthier. I understand your concern about his age & dental procedure but it has to be done. Dont feel guilty that you didnt know before; we all do our best with our pets. Keep us posted.

Awee poor baby boy Specs.. I sure hope Dr. Lee can make you feel better real soon so you can come home & snuggle to meowmomma.. Sending Lots of Prayers & Huggss.. Keep us posted ok..

[Catty1]

I bet dear Specs will be just fine - prayers and hugs going out!

He will feel SO much better. I imagine he will have some painkillers and antibiotics, though hopefully Dr Lee can give Specs a long-acting injection for the ABs. How does one pill a kitty with a sore mouth?

Looking forward to seeing you home, Specs. Thank goodness for a loving Meowmie who had her special hunch it was your teeth.

God bless you and Specs both, Mary!

Specs, you will feel so much better once this is all over with! Meanwhile, prayers are continuing, and lots of healing energies and warmth are being sent to you.

He's in good hands with Dr. Lee and will feel so much better once that tooth is taken care of. Lots of healing thoughts for Specs!

And he will be in meowmie's good hands at home, too!

More prayers on the way for you both!!! I bet Phred will be right there holding his paw through the entire thing.
