    Cali is recovering now. Only lost one tooth. Will go pick her up at 5:30.

    Kiss delivered Karen. She is tired. Ate a little bit of watered down wet food. Diego is keeping his distance. I've sprayed some feliway to keep the peace.

    Glad to hear that Cali came thru the ordeal with only 2 ouchies - one for the pulled tooth, and the other for her bruised dignity!

    Feel better soon, Cali.

    I can't believe the price of dentals for cats and dogs. Yikes!

    Dentals at my clinic, even with extractions, are maybe $300. A canned estimate (without extractions) ranges from $200-$250. It amazes me how expensive they are elsewhere!! And we aren't an old-school clinic by any means, either. Cra-azy.

    Glad to hear everything went well

    Wow! I sure wish they were this cheap here. I do consider $300 cheap because I've had to usually pay $800 - $1000 range which did include extrations. Everything is much more expensive in CA.

    I'm also glad to here that everything went well and that Cali is now home.

    Cali is sick, won't take the antibiotics

    Just back from the vet. Cali is having respiratory issues. Had her in the bathroom with the shower running hot to humidify her. Tried to get her to take the antibiotics with some shrimp (my kitties love fishy stuff). She ate it and then a few minutes later let out a howl and vomited it all back up. I'm letting her rest now before we try again.

    She was fine yesterday, about 8 pm she sneezed 3 times. She bugged me for cuddles all night long, totally not in her character. She would only nibble at her foodies, also very out of character. Her purrs sound very "wet". Called the vet and off we went. A couple of chest X-rays later we were sent home.

    I have a multitude of fishy things to try to get her to eat the meds with, but would sure appreciate any suggestions anyone might have to get them into her.

    I'm so sorry to hear that she's sick. Do you think that she may have caught this at the vets? Maybe she was so stressed out that her immune system became lowered. Does she like canned food? If so try to feed her some canned food and then try giving her the antibiotics. I know that usually if you give cats antibiotics on an empty stomach that they'll then throw up. If she continues to throw up, then I'd ask the vet for some antinausea medicine. Pills may not work for her but they do have an injectable kind called cerenia which I've had to use on my Ziggy. Here's a link about it: https://animalhealth.pfizer.com/site...erPuppies.aspx. I sure hope that she'll feel better soon. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent her way.

    Antibiotics are hard on the stomach. Try to dose her right after she has eaten a bit, so that will cushion her tummy.

    Feel better quickly, Cali!

    Pill pockets? With a bit of food in the tummy?

    Poor baby, get well soon!

    Is she on pain meds at all? If so then this may be causing her to not want to eat very much if at all. I hope she'll recover quickly.

    Tried it. It was my first choice. No interest.
