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.

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.

My boy isn't doing too well. He started shrieking when I brought him home and, at first, I thought he just wanted attention. I carried him downstairs to where the litter boxes are b/c I thought he might have to go but he just laid down on his side on the cold concrete and isn't moving. There's carpeting down there but he seems to want to be on the concrete.

Sorry, I was so upset that at first I posted this on the wrong thread and then I forgot to give you the scoop. Specs had two molars pulled. I saw the pictures, ugh. He's still bleeding a little from the extractions and they told me not to worry unless he bleeds excessively. They considered having him spend the night but no one would be there should he start bleeding badly, so they told me to keep a close watch on him. Poor boy. He must have been in so much pain and now he's still in pain. Well, they did give him a pain shot and some more pain meds that I can give him if I feel he needs them tonight. I feel awful.

Saying prayers, Mary. I hope he feels better soon.

Aw Specs, you are in recovery now, dear boy. Yes it was scary, yes those bad teefies was ouching and are now gone. Just rest for a while dear boy.

Mary, don't be so hard on yourself. I know you are among the first to remind the rest of us that cats hide pain well, by the time we know there is a problem, its been going on awhile. You got him in to the vet, Dr. Lee took care of him. As an owner, you did well.

Now this boy is tired, scared and sore. All to be expected. Praying the pain meds kick in and he sleeps through the night. Could be some reaction to the anesthesia, too.

The pain meds you have, is that pills? Oh dear, good luck if you need to administer those. I hate when they send dental pets home with pills; there oughta be a law! LOL

[Prairie Purrs]

He may be a bit freaked out coming out of the anesthesia--maybe more scared than hurting. I'm still keeping the healing thoughts coming.
