Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / May 2008UPDATE 2 Re: Smokey not doing well...
I know this is late, but here goes: Took her in Tuesday am, picked her back up in the afternoon. They pulled 4 (FOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!) lower molars, and gave us more antib's to give her to help her tongue (and the holes in her jaw where her teeth used to be). She will likely have to be on soft food for the rest of her life as they don't make dentures for cats (do they?). Poor girl was STARVING when we got her home, but her mouth hurt too much to eat (and she was still groggy and stumbly from the anesthetic)! She was finally able to eat the next morning, and boy did she ever! We still have her isolated in the laundry room, and they want to see her in about a month for a follow up. Hopefully the ulcers on her tongue are gone by then.

Don't worry, I think the worst is over for her. Over the years, have had 3 cats - different time periods - who for various reasons had no teeth to eat anything but gooshy food. They all did fine gumming their soft food for many years, only one (a poor old guy brought to me from a construction site by a laborer I knew who had NO teeth from an auto accident we thought who I had to spread newspaper on floor as he kinda shoved the gooshy food around while being a messy eater, LOL) was the least problem. glad she came through it, Lee > I know this is late, but here goes: > [quoted text clipped - 44 lines] > email me at nalee1964 (at) comcast (dot) net > http://community.webshots.com/user/mgcmdjeep > I know this is late, but here goes: > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > her in about a month for a follow up.

Ah, That is good to hear. Um, have you been given pills for Smokey? Try putting a little butter on them/it and it'll go down faster and won't give her a yukky taste in her mouth. Just a suggestion:) Puuuurs on the way for her to heal and eat more. It took Mosey some time. He had liquid antibiotcs that he hated, but he was a good boy. Hug Kyla > >^..^< This is Kitty.

Ah, so was Mosey, who is off it now:) Ask your vet about getting some kitty toofpaste to prevent any further problems. Smokey can just lick it right from the tube. Puuuuurrs from Mosey for Smokey to feel awl better soon. Hug Kyla > >^..^< This is Kitty. Copy and paste Kitty into your signature to help > her wipe out Bunny's world domination.
