No they gave her long lasting meds in the IV. Nothing sent home.

Cosette has eaten about 50 calories in two days. Tonight I'm going to make her a nice big soup. My instinct tells me I need to.

Yes it's the post-op recovery process. I checked her papers again and it does indeed say dry food.

The dentist spoke to me with instructions for several minutes after. She repeatedly said no food like pate. The harder the better, so Cosette will be encouraged to swallow it whole. I remember thinking it was odd.

I'm baffled by what the dentist told me regarding food. Dentist said to avoid all soft food that is mushy because it can stick to the wounds. Says Cosette can learn to swallow whole chunks of dry food. I've given Cosette some chunks taken from canned food. She hates it. She's barely eating...

They gave her long lasting pain reliever in the IV. Said it should last another few days. She's a bit confused on why her mouth feels funny, but she wasn't angry tonight. She purred for a while when I petted her. She goes back in 10 days to check her stitches.

8 tooth extractions, IV antibiotic, and plaque removal on remaining teeth. Dentist said it's a wonder she was eating. Now she's back home resting. I am of course to blame!

This morning when I went for her she ran through the house like a lunatic. I think she knew. Sat in her carrier and glared at the world. She's in the dentist's hands. We'll know more this afternoon.

she's more confident now, looks secure and relaxed

under the couch

Cosette goes for dental procedure Monday. We hope it's the last of her rehabilitation. She shows signs that her mouth hurts. She drools a lot, prefers soupy food, takes forever to eat, etc. It seems to have gotten bad shortly after we fixed her ears. I wonder if remnants of the infection moved...

Cosette purred for me tonight! I reached under the couch to pet her. She has become more vocal. And she's finally starting to clean herself a little.

Hey everyone. Sorry for my angry tone in the last update. Didn't mean to scare anyone. Cosette has a weak bladder, possibly from her spay done in a hurry. When she was in her room she always had the box a few feet away. Now she has to make special trips to the potty, and she doesn't always make...

We'd have to force her back into the bedroom and lock her in there. She doesn't want to be in that room anymore. That would be yet another change and "new normal" she wouldn't understand. Her pee on the floor came after we cleaned and restocked her litter box. She always gets angry when we mess...

Cosette has gotten worse. Now she pees on the floor around her litter. She's under the couch 24/7. I no longer see her at mealtime. I put out food for a phantom cat who thanks me by peeing on the carpet. Hubby has been supportive but he's losing interest. Once she found the couch she abandoned...

That old bedroom is not her favorite place anymore. She's finding new beds and tables to sit under. I put her food under the dining table these days.

Cosette is angry at me. She realized I've been sitting on the couch on top of her. She thinks I'm terrorizing her. 😂 I'm the devil! Now she stays hidden even when I make her food. She comes out only when alone for 20 minutes to eat and potty.

Update on Cosette. She eats in the living room as long as no one watches. I'm slowly moving her to the kitchen. I've worked to build up her appetite to eat more food to get more calories in her. She's accustomed to eating just enough. I started filling her bowl with extra. At first she was...
