Well, I hit a Tri-fecta yesterday. Mitzi at the vet, my PC in the shop and me sick at home with a sinus infection.

Mitzi did fine. She came home with 4 fewer teeth, including her lower canine - poor girl looks gummy on one side The vet said cats normally have 30 teeth After yesterday's extractions, she now has 23 left but that hasn't stopped her from eating.

She did have some pain/discomfort last night and this morning. The doc gave me pain meds for her - I hate getting her all stoned, but I don't want her to suffer.

She seems to be doing ok.

My PC is still in the shop and I"m on antibiotics for my sinus infection. Slowly, one thing at a time is hopefully getting better.

Hmm, sounds like the kind of day I had w/my two cats, my cell phone and my flu bug. LOL We'd make a great pair, you and I. I'm glad that Mitzi came away no worse for wear and I do hope that she heals quickly w/out being stoned and that you are on the mend, too.

I'm so glad to see that Mitzi did just fine. I'm waiting for Phinehas to be looking ok enough to take him in for a dental/extraction as well. Hope she continues to feel better!

I'm so glad to hear that Mitzi's dental went well. Sorry she had to lose 4 teeth but I'll bet she'll feel much better after she heals up. I hope that you'll feel better soon and that your computer can be easily fixed. Please take care and have a happy Easter.

Glad to hear Mitzi is ok-a senior cat lady with 23 teeth is as good as new

I still have a hard time thinking of her as a "senior" at barely 8 years old, but everywhere I go, they say she's senior.

She's having a hard time trying to figure out how to eat with fewer teeth. Apparently her lower canine was her treat-catching tooth. She seems pretty despondent over the fact that she can't seem to hang onto treats the way she used to. We're experimenting with different methods of treat-administration. She seems to like the eating right out of my palm the best, although she's getting frustrated when I try and give her pieces of chicken from my plate. I know, my bad, but she always begs so cutely, I can't resist that little face.
