Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / May 2006Purr Request UPDATE
Jessie is now home, she had one tooth removed and the rest cleaned. This was all done with a sedative rather than a general anaesthetic so she was wide awake and complaining loudly when we picked her up. I'm very relieved she's OK, she's not my cat but I'm *very* fond of her. Glad to hear it!!! > Jessie is now home, she had one tooth removed and the rest cleaned.

I don't know the details, but they suspected delayed reactions to the anaesthetic. I know Jessie was only sedated but still ....

I've been putting off getting my kitties' teeth cleaned for this very reason! Joyce > You guys are scaring me.

If you have a senior cat, ask if a blood test is advised before putting the kitty under. I recall one type of anaesthetic is preferable, but don't recall which type. Other posters can help out here. You just have to weigh the pros and cons. My mom't cat had his teeth cleaned with no problem or any after effects. My vet suggested shaving Rusty as he has ringworm. But he needs to be sedated for the shave, and I am concerned over that as he is an older cat. But if we can't rid the ringworm in a month or two, I may go for the shave.

Yeah, but risk goes up with age. So does the incidence of mouth and tooth problems. It's hard sometimes to decide what to do with an elderly cat with problems because there are risks whatever you choose.

Jessie is 14, so would probaly be considered 'elderly' fortunately she is healthy.

Also my neighbour, who is quite elderly, is not in good health herself at the moment and I think that makes her worry more about Jessie.
