Prayers and pawsitive thoughts for Fister, Shanga, and Randi.

[Randi]

Fister is home!

It's always very difficult to see him sedated, he didn't move one bit when I opened the box. It really takes a long time for him to come around. When we got home I put him on my bed and he did try to move around a little, but fell over. I put him on the floor while in the kitchen and he just wants to hide under the bed or cupboard. He ate a few slurps of wet food and a few kibbles, but he almost feel asleep over them. I'll let him be for now.

He had two teeth out and a good cleaning and I got something called Metacam (Meloxicam) to give him orally for 4 days, starting tomorrow. It's a painkiller.

Shanga had eight teeth out, but she was already awake when we came to pick them up - and complaining!

Gosh, I tired! Thanks for all of your good thoughts!

Yay, Fister! I hope you wake up from the anesthesia just fine and the meloxicam gives you a lot of relief from pain.

And Shanga, my goodness, eight teeth!

[Cataholic]

What a visit! Poor Fister. Waking up from that stuff is like trying to see through oatmeal. I hope you recover by morning.

Shanga- OUCH! I hope once the pain from the extraction wears off you will be much more happier.

[Randi]

I'm just SO relieved that it is done. I have postponed it all winter because I was worried about the anesthesia.

At 5Pm he had managed to jump or climb up on the bed by himself. He has eaten some more now and has even been in his litterbox. He can already walk in fairly straight line.

I'm so pleased to hear that handsome Fister is back home and safe. Please give him some snugglies from me!

Sorry I'm a bit late at replying. I've been lurking here more than posting because I just haven't had the time to post. I'm so glad to hear that Fister's exam went well and that he's also doing well after his dental cleaning. My poor Storm also needs to have a dental cleaning and he'll also have several teeth extracted. His gums are in very bad shape and he has horrible breath. Other than that he's doing well for a 16 year old and his blood work and thyroid T4 test also came back normal. He has lost a little more weight too. He'll go in on April 2nd and I sure hope that he'll do as well as Fister. I hope that Fister recovers quickly and that his will be that last dental cleaning that he'll ever need.
