Chloe and her dental cleaning

[krazyaboutkatz]

I hope that everything will go smoothly with Chloe's dental and that she'll heal up quickly. Yes, I would definitely keep them separated for a while. You also need the vet smell to wear off of her too. Prayers and positive thoughts are being sent her way.

Oh, poor little Chloe! You know she is one of our heart kitties and you know how much I can relate to Aby behavior when you want to pill them, check them, help them!!!
I am sure the little girl will feel much better now and I hope Juni Rose will think that Chloe smells a lot better

Poor Chloe - no wonder she was cranky, that must have been sore! Hopefully you an gradually reintroduce them, and peace will reign!

I picked her up around 3:30. They did five extractions, three being molars and really difficult, taking 45 minutes each! Needless to say my bill was three times what they quoted me. I am broke now! She is on one medication that I will put in her food. They gave her a long acting pain shot and fluids while she was there. I will keep a close eye on her tonight and let her sleep where ever she wants to, and keeping Ms. Juni locked in her room for a couple of nights.

The vet seems to think that her mouth was really painful for her even though she gave me no indication she was in pain. The vet said that that is common with cats. He also thinks that Juni could detect the decay in Chloe's mouth and wanted to finish her off. Sounds awful, but that happens in the wild all the time. The sick get killed.

Anywho. I will let you know how the cats progress and of course, if they ever become friends again!

Fingers crossed.

Oh, by the way, she had NO tartar on her teeth. And her gums were fine, too. Go figure.

Healing prayers from RI for Chloe. She will feel lots better in a few days.

Paws crossed they both get along after that.

Thank you everyone wishing Ms. Chloe a quick recovery. She seems fine but has to stay under my watch for at least five days until the stitches dissolve on their own. Poor kitty. She must have been in so much pain.
An update, Saturday morning:

Chloe was out of it last night. Looking at a wall all night! She did pee a lot. Didn't eat. I let her alone in her room for the night. I checked on her early this AM and she was still very quiet, so I fed her more wet food and left her alone. About five minutes ago I saw two cats go flying by and sure enough, Chloe had opened her door and gone out on to the porch where Juni is/was resting. Needless to say, they have not worked out their issues BUT there was no howling and screaming, just the chase. I put Juni in her room since I couldn't find Chloe. I will leave Chloe roam the house today. She has earned it. She does not seem hungry at all. I need to give her her meds on and with food. Hmmmmmmmmm. Any suggestions?

The vet's office just called and asked about her. I get better service from my pet's vet than my doctors! Go figure! I also gave Chloe her liquid med on some tuna juice and chopped tuna if she feels so inclined. I feel so sorry for her.

By the way, I looked at the bill from the vet a little more closely and it was an additional 45 minutes for ALL three molars NOT 45 minutes for each molar, as I had originally thought. Time is money. They charge for every little thing, thus the huge bill. Oh well. I would do and pay just about anything if my pet is in pain and discomfort. I wish I had had the cleaning done a little sooner, now that I found out she must have been uncomfortable. My vet who did the initial exam said she should have a cleaning, but didn't say it was pressing. Oh well. We live and learn.

Overall I think it is good news. Little Chloe breaking out of her confinement gave me a smile. And I see kitties chasing each other and wrestling all the time- I think it is play as long as there is no yelling and bloodshed, so I hope it will be like that with Chloe and Juni. Give that kid kisses from her auntie Barbara - and give one to Juni and Lucy too.
