Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / October 2004Frank's operation
Frank is scheduled for his dental surgery on the 27th. I have to take him in to the vet school hospital before 8 in the morning and I get to pick him up after 4 in the afternoon. I know I'll be a nervous wreck all day. Actually, I'm a nervous wreck already. Frank will be 17 next month, and it's always a risk to put such an old cat under anaesthesia. He's also had some high BUN levels, which makes it even more of a risk. But he has to have that tooth out or it will get infected again. I'll be on needles and pins until I have him back home, safe and sound and in good health next week.

Natasha, who is 17, had dental surgery about this time last year. This was after her CRF diagnosis was made. At the time she had an elevated white cell count (indicating an infection somewhere) in addition to the elevated BUN and Creatinine levels from her kidney trouble. Other blood chemistry values were also out of spec. TED delayed her dental several times, wanting to get her kidney values back to normal first (didn't want to give her anesthesia while her kidneys were having trouble), but we weren't able to do that. Finally I talked them into going ahead with the dental. It turned out that what was thought to be a badly needed cleaning was the root of a lot of the trouble - literally. Several of her teeth had dead and rotting roots! Obviously these teeth were removed, which caused all signs of infection to go away. Her kidney values went back to what's become normal for her (BUN normal, Creatinine slightly elevated) too. Natasha came through it all without problem, although she was a little irritated at being pilled (antibiotic) for several days afterward. You and Frank have our support, but given my experience with Tasha, I bet it will all turn out just fine in the end! :) Jeanne Hedge, as directed by Natasha ============ http://www.jhedge.com > Natasha, who is 17, had dental surgery about this time last year.

We hope that Waffles won't mind if Rosie and Cinder add their purrs to the symphony that surely is coming from around the world and headed toward a special gentleman cat in Finland, his friend, Niki, and his slave, Marina.

I totally understand. Revving up the purr engines now so that everthing goes smoothly. Oh, Marina, I think you don't have a lot of choice about the dentistry; however, maybe you can check and discuss with your vet what the best anaesthesia for him is -- I know we had to take a growth off of Frodo's lip when he was very old and the vet gave him a very short-acting anaesthetic and worked very quickly and he did fine. Major purrs and hugs for you. Christine > Frank is scheduled for his dental surgery on the 27th.

Major purrs and hugs for you. I so wish it was my vet who was going to do the operation, but they don't have the facilities for it. I have to take him to the vet school hospital (where they didn't even spot the infection in his tooth!) and I'm not sure I will even meet the vet who will do the procedure. I'm going to ask the vet tech, though. Thanks for the tip, Christine.

But Frank's a tough guy, so I'm sure he'll make it through just fine :-) Ginger-lyn Lots of purrs for Frank's surgery to be uneventful and routine and for you not to worry too much(says the person who is convinced she won't wake up every time she has an anaesthetic herself!) At my vet's surgery they offer different types of anaesthetic including one that has been developed for old animals, although the vets says all veterinary anaesthetics are much safer than they used to be. We have a choice of having this one for our oldies. Tweed > Frank is scheduled for his dental surgery on the 27th.
