Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / February 2005Purr Request
My 15-year-old is going in for a teeth cleaning today. I know that doesn't sound serious, but any time an older cat has to be anesthetized is worrisome. I'll be a wreck until she's home again!

I'll be a wreck until she's home again! Yes, unfortunately you will in spite of what anyone can say. Just take a few deep breaths and tell yourself that it's only a routine procedure.

URI's aren't any fun at all and Sam sends special, deep breathing purrs as well. Gentle headbutts to you and Nancy as well. Julie, Hobbes, Selena, Lacey, Sam and Barnabus I'm probably late for this too, but just in case Soncek sends his purrs and I send my best wishes for Harri's spay to go really to go really well and for Sammy to recover from URI really soon, SignaturePolonca & Soncek > Purrs coming! > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Dan > My 15-year-old is going in for a teeth cleaning today.

The first time I had Princess's rb16) teeth cleaned, I was really upset with the doctor (told him so) and it took her a couple of days to recover. The next time I went to a new doctor and he said they used the same anesthetic as is used on people. She was just fine. Purrs that all goes well.

MLB Yep, already asked, they use isoflurine (sp??). It "metabolizes" (?) faster and lets them come out of it faster. Hugs, CatNipped > > f they use an up-to-day anesthetic he should be fine. The first time I > > had Princess's [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > CatNipped Isoflurane. Modern anesthesia, however, is "balanced" with a combination of several drugs, both anesthetic and preanesthetic. While an inhaled anesthetic such as isoflurane gives deep surgical anesthesia and minimal depression of other body functions, actually inhaling it while conscious can be unpleasant. So, the usual practice is to pre-sedate (e.g., with a benzodiazepine tranquilizer) and/or to do quick initial induction of unconsciousness (or a total "don't care" condition) with ultrashort-acting barbiturates or ketamine. After the patient is asleep, the inhaled anesthetic, mixed with oxygen and sometimes nitrous oxide, are started. Toward the end of surgery, the primary inhaled anesthetic may be stopped so it can clear out, but fast-clearing nitrous oxide is continued for pain control in the sedated patient. In recovery, one waits for basic awakening, but continues pain medication, waiting for the patient to be completely awake. Just heard from TED, Bandit is fine and resting quietly. I can pick her up at 5:30 today and talk to TED then about after care. YAY! Whew!

The original insight into the protective effect of fluoride came from an observation that residents of Deaf Smith County, Texas, had extremely low cavity rates -- and unusual water. > If they were all in the same geographic area, do you know if the water > has a high natural level of fluoride? The original insight into the > protective effect of fluoride came from an observation that residents of > Deaf Smith County, Texas, had extremely low cavity rates -- and unusual > water. In our case I think it was genetics. All my kids' friends had cavities. Hugs, CatNipped >> If they were all in the same geographic area, do you know if the >> water has a high natural level of fluoride? The original insight [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > CatNipped Genetics - go figure. I've got extremely good teeth (even though I did have cavities as a kid and I think I have one now). But father, who is 80, has most of his natural teeth. My oldest brother, Paul, has good teeth too. My mom had a full set of dentures before she was 50. My middle brother, Scott, poor thing, got Mom's genetics - very bad teeth and gum disease. He was always brushing and flossing and rinsing and doing all the stuff you're supposed to do but he suffered major bone loss in his jaw too. So several years ago he had ALL of his teeth replaced with implants. He had to first have bone implants in his jaw. The entire process took just over a year and it wasn't covered by insurance. He has a $33,000 mouth! He borrowed against his 401K and took out a loan and my dad sent him $$ too. Me, I drove him to and from the oral surgeon and cooked him soft food like mac & cheese, breakfast casserole, soups, etc. Jill its good when it runs in the family, all my family had good teeth, white and straight,when I was young, one boyfriendhad been away on a submarinetook me to a film on his first night back,and a Mcleans add came on Terry said in a loud voice did you Mclean *your* teeth today, I was a bit embarrassed, but I'm 72 now and have dentures Yac.
