Storm's Getting A Dental Cleaning & Several Teeth Extracted Tomorrow

[krazyaboutkatz]

Thanks everyone. Storm has had dentals several times before and I know he'll get the best care too. My vet will also be there today and she knows all about Storm and she specializes in cats so this helps me to not worry as much as I might otherwise. I'll update more later tonight.

Thormy ~ I had to have moath of my teefs removed too. I only have three left but I don't have the "bref of def" anymorth.

If you're a tuff thenior like me, you'll thill likth to eat krunchies. You'd think they'd hurth my mouth, but they donth. Onlyth problem I have is keeping waterth in my mouth. It goeth everywherth if I'm not carefull.

Thanks again everyone. When my vet called me at work around 4pm, she said that everything went well and there were no complications. He did need to have 4 teeth extracted. One of them was his upper right canine so now he's lost both of his upper canines. He now has only 16 teeth left out of 30. He had moderate tartar buildup and gingivitis with advanced tooth resorption (tooth decay).

He's on antibiotics for 1 week and pain medication as needed. He also needs to eat soft food for the next 7 days. He's doing well and he peed in the litter box as soon as he got home. He also ate some canned food and he wants more but I can't feed him too much food tonight. I know he's glad to be home. Alani thinks he smells funny and he keeps sniffing the air, places where Storm has been, and also Storm himself. He almost looked like he wanted to attack Storm so I need to watch Alani very closely. Storm wants to be wherever I go which is good so I can keep a close eye on him. Now I hope he'll heal up quickly and begin to feel better very soon. I want him to be around for many more years to come.
