Hi all. I hope I'm posting this in the right place. My sweet girl Kila just went in for a dental today. She's had tooth and gum issues since we got her and she had two teeth removed about a year and a half ago and did well in recovery. We've been upkeeping her dental health by brushing her teeth and feeding dental treats almost daily since then.
We expected 1-2 more to be removed today. Got a call from the vet before the procedure and they need to take out SIX! They warned it was going to be a more intensive surgery and now my anxiety is skyrocketing. Money isn't an issue, we have care credit to cover it, but I wasn't expecting her to have to go through all that and I was already nervous. Have others had experience with a larger extraction like this? Did your cats bounce back quickly or were they out of it for a while?
I know she's in good hands and will be in less pain once she's through with it but I can't help but spiral a little. This cat is my life. Any advice, experiences, or just good vibes would be much appreciated. Thank you all.
