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

Lots of positive thoughts that Specs will feel better after a good teeth cleaning. Hope it goes well!

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

No, they gave me syringes so that I can squirt the liquid on his gums.

Mary, of course this is going to be rough, please don't think you're doing anything wrong! Poor Specs has suffered a trauma; give it a little time, it'll be OK. More prayers....

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.
