Cuddles is recovering, I hope.

Thanks for the support. I was really feeling terrible about this yesterday. It helps to hear others enforce the message that cats are masters at hiding pain.

We are all sending along our love and prayers and healing energies for Cuddles and for you too, Sandie. Agree.. cats are indeed masterful at hiding pain.

My RB Taz had a canine tooth pulled a LONG time ago. I can't remember what triggered the vet visit. I think I noticed him eating funny and his appetite decreased too.

But yes, kitties do not like to show their illness. Taz also had the pseudo cysts around his kidneys and I only knew because his sides had sunk in horribly. He acted just fine.
In fact, he was acting just fine the day I took him in to make the trip to the bridge. But he was very sick.

I hope Cuddles feels all better once her mouth is healed up. Hugs to you and Cuddles!

Sandie, I too felt terrible when Oscar had FORL a few years ago. He had 7 teeth removed, and 4 had already been dissolved by this disease. I can't begin to imagine the pain he was in! I felt horrid.

My vet assured me that cats are very good at hiding pain - Oscar would have just been chewing on the side that didn't hurt.

After he came home I swear he slept for 24 hours straight just because the pain was gone.

Prayers for Cuddles that he recovers well, and prayers for you.

Just read the thread. How's Cuddles? We know you would have gotten care for Cuddles earlier had you known; you're an excellent mom to your babies.

Cuddles seems to be doing well. She is taking her pain meds - syringe of liquid, I squirt in inside her cheek for it to be absorbed. She is eating and using the litter box.

Oh,good! Keep on keeping on, dearest Cuddles! You and Meowmie are doing just great.
