My Poor Storm: Update 11-03-09 Having Ups & Downs

[Catty1]

Poor little guy! I hope the dental clears up all problems. Sometimes the 'littlest' thing, like teeth, can cause big problems.

Hugs and cuddles to Storm...looking forward to a healthy happy boy!

Thanks Helene and Candace. I just heard back from my vet and she thinks that his gums are just inflamed but not infected and since he's still eating he'll be fine until Monday. She also said that the treatment for an abscessed tooth would be a dental cleaning and an extraction.

Ouchy Ouchy.. Now they will give him a sleeping drug before they do all this mouth work right?? I sure hope so.. Poor baby..

Oh yes, Storm will be in the arms of Morpheus while all this is going on!

Or, as my sister used to say, "I don't wanna be in the room while they're doing that!"

General anesthetics are used for cats because their jaws are SO strong...and imagine trying to give a cat a local!

Best wishes for Storm!

Poor Storm, I hope he feels better.

Aww, poor Storm. It's a good thing you have that appointment on Monday. Hopefully he'll be feeling much better after they take care of that. I know my Taz did after he had one of his "fangs" removed. And you'll feel so much better knowing he's not in pain.

I'll keep you and Storm in my thoughts.

Please keep us posted about Storm. I'm sure you're right and that it is a tooth problem. I hope he heals up soon after the teeth are cleaned.
