    Poor thing! Yeah, after any anesthesia, it can take a while for one's appetite to return, so I'm not surprised she wasn't interested in dinner!

    Goodness, that sounds like extensive work. I hope she feels better when it's all said and done.

    Poor Lacey - she sure did go thru a lot. Here's hoping that she will feel better real soon.

    Both of the Fuzzbuttz have bad teeth, but can't go under anesthesia for a cleaning because of their heart murmurs - and Sparky is even worse than Myndi. He had a real bad time about a year ago and even had some teeth fall out, and his gums were a mess, and now he is on an antibiotic for 5 days each month, to keep any further infections at bay. In an x-ray he had in December because he was coughing a lot (to rule out anything undetected that was going on), it showed his heart was very enlarged. He is now on a heart med and Lasix, and unless there be a need for emergency surgery for whatever reason, then going under is out of the question. Doc just manually removes tarter on both of them whenever they have to go in for a visit. They don't appear to be in any pain tho - thank goodness.

    Kisses to Lacey - and of course the rest of the Fluffs, too!

    Oh poor girl, I'm glad it's over with now. It hurts me just to think about
    the pain she must have felt. Hope she feels much better each day and
    bounces back to her old self.

    Lacey had a good night, slept soundly right through.

    This morning, I got about 1/4 cup of moist food in her, byt smearing a bit on her upper lip and letting her lick it; other than that she would not take it.

    So then I tried to get the 3 pills in her; got her so worked up and nervous she threw up. Sigh, so I gave up.

    I gave her a bowl of moist food when I fed the others, and she ate about half, so about a quarter cup again. She isn't settling down, restless, but she won't come NEAR me now, so not sure I can get any meds in her.

    Usually it's only the cats I have trouble getting pills into.I mask any pill in a small bit of wet food
    and they take them easily.I'm sure you have tried just about everything by now, but hope you
    can get Lacey to take her meds next time. Heal up soon Lacey.
