How did Dylan make out yesterday?

Picked him up at dinner time and he was starving and happy to be home. We were supposed to wait another two hours and he sat in front of his bowl the entire time!! He then enjoyed his yummy wet food which he seemed to think was quite a treat - and finished it happily. Today I can tell he does not feel good - just sits and stares at me mostly. His neck is shaved across the back and he looks rather funny without his mane! The tumor they took off was totally benign

The vet said it appeared to simply be a "lipoma" which she has not seen on cats very often but it was fine and is now gone. He goes back in two weeks to have the sutures removed. As far as the tooth extraction and cleaning - I have not looked in his mouth but it sure has not affected his appetite. Today he has been back to eating his preferred dry kibble. I took some pictures and will try to figure out how to post. Thank you all so much for your opinions and good wishes for my Dylan!

Can you mix gravy in to wet the dry food and make it softer?

I tried some warm broth over the dry food but he would not touch it. He does enjoy the stinky canned food so I will give him some daily - but he still gets into the dry kibble we keep out for the others. The vet said cats are smart about leaning to eat on the side that does not hurt and to go ahead and give him his dry food

The tooth extraction has not slowed down his appetite one bit !
