Lily to the vet for her dental cleaning tomorrow

Thank you very much for keeping my Lily in your thoughts! I will give you an update tomorrow.

Randi, I will ask her re. the kind of anaesthesia.

BTW, Lily will hate to have no breakfast tomorrow! Since I started feeding them a little "pre-breakfast meal" due to Luna's stomach problems, Lily developed this bad habit of begging loudly for food at 5 am! Guess I better go to bed now to get enough sleep before she starts complaing in the early morning hours! lol

Okay, here's the update: She's fine!!

Of course she was wobbly and dizzy for a couple of hours, but recovered surprisingly quickly! She even wanted to eat, and kept it down. I'm only feeding her small amounts right now, even though she would eat more, if she could.

Luna hissed at her when we came back, and was grumpy for the rest of the day, but now she seems to have calmed down.

I'm really surprised how well Lily was coping with the anaesthesia; it's much worse for Luna; always has been.

Randi, I asked what kind of anaesthesia they gave her, it's Ketamin and Vetranquil.

Thanks for asking, Kirsten. Soon, it will be Fister's time for a teeth cleaning.

I'm glad Lily is OK. I assume she didn't have any teeth extracted.

Now, she'll have to catch up on the food she missed yesterday.

Give her and Luna some kisses from me.

Kisses to Luna and Lily from me

No, she didn't!

It turned out that only one molar was looking really bad, but it could be saved. Just looked at her teeth, and I'm very pleased to see how nice and clean they are looking now!

I'm so glad to hear that her dental went well.

So do you think that your girls would ever let you brush their teeth? I've been doing it with all of my cats once a week for quite a while now. They don't like it but they've learned to tolerate it.

I've tried that many years ago, but they didn't tolerate it at all, so I gave up eventually. I'm regretting that now; Lily's teeth look so white and new right now that it's a shame not to keep them clean!
