No pills at home. The IV treatment last 48 hours. We'll see if she eats dinner. Right now I can't tell if she's in bad pain or she's mad. I'll ask for pain killers if she's not eating.

Cosette's happy pills wore off and reality set in and now she's mad 😂

Yes she came home Monday afternoon. She gobbled a whole big can of soupy food last night. She's going back next week for 10 day check.

The logic is to minimize all chewing and motivate her to swallow whole kibble. When she's "good and hungry" she'll figure it out. Sorry no. Cosette is not a "good and hungry" kind of cat. Oh you can give her a tiny bit of soup as a "treat" while keep pushing kibble. Forget it my baby's getting...

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
