Please Say a Pray for My Brothers Cat Monte-He's Going in For Surgery 5 Teeth Pulled*

[Anikaca77]

I called my sister last night and she told me that my brother called her because he wanted to know if cats can get lock jaw. He said Monte is walking around with his jaw hanging down and he won't close it. He said that he is drinking and purring like normal. My sister said if he continues to do it today to get him to the vets and she'll cover it. My brother lost his job at the beginning of this month.

Please say a pray that Monte will be ok.

Just spoke with my brother and Monte seems to be doing better today, my brother said he's not sure if he got bit by a bug or spider or something.

So that's some good news

Oh he is a pretty boy! Me and the kitties will all say a prayer.

I wonder if Monte could have banged his jaw while jumping about and its bruised a bit.
We are all praying that theres nothing serious and that your brother can find employment very soon!!

How is Monte doing? I hope his jaw is all better now.

I'll be calling my sister later to find out but the last I heard on Friday was that he was doing much better now. which I'm so glad.

Monte was the one that fell off of my brothers balcony one time but he survived thank goodness he's a tough boy.

Thanks,
melissa

I wonder if he initially just dislocated his jaw. My jaw dislocates when I yawn, or "open wide" - I always thought everyone's jaw did that, until my orthodontist explained one that that not everyone hear a popping sounds when he has told them "open wide," and to be careful and what to do if i got it stuck open*. Thankfully that last bit has never been necessary, but hey, I know if necessary!

Glad to hear he is doing better, at any rate.


*hit myself hard with the heel of my hand against the spot where the jaw "hinges."

My brother called me last night (of course I posted before this one that Monte was doing fine since I didn't hear anything) and he was heading home from the ER with Monte and Monte was in the back round crying. The ER sent home some pain shot injections so that way Monte will be comfortable until he was able to get a vet appt. Apparently, Monte started acting semi-better on Friday but then Sunday he opened his mouth again and started to drool so that's why he ended up in the ER.

My brother said Monte needs to have at least 1 tooth pulled to possibly 2-3 teeth pulled. He has gum disease.

I got him a vet appt. with my vets tomorrow at 9 a.m. and they are going to look at him and then they will put him under and pull his teeth.

Please say a pray that everything goes well for Monte that he will be just fine after this.

Aww, poor Monty! I am glad he has painkillers as bad teeth and gums HURT!

He will need pain meds after the surgery too, but will feel much better very soon! Prayers for a fast recovery!

Poor guy, I'll certainly say a prayer for him. Hope you feel better soon, Monte.

Lots of good healing wishes and prayers for Monte, that the surgery goes well for him and this solves his problem!
