Hi! Yes I have actually started to put her wet food into a food processor or mashing it with a fork. I’m hand feeding her shes eating more this way vs. her eating out of the bowl. I had scheduled an appt for this Friday but I am calling the vet tomorrow to bring her in as an emergency walk in...
I’m so sorry for your loss. Pets are such beautiful sentient beings who have no hidden agenda, ulterior motives, and love us unconditionally. If I had to choose I’d be around animals all day :p I am not taking her back to this vet. They care more about money than the care and health of your pet...
Thank you so much for your words of encouragement and sage advice. Ofcourse the clinic says it’s that her gums are inflamed not that there are roots left in her gums. I am taking her to another vet. She keeps yelping, growling and hiding when she makes attempts to eat. I am hand feeding her...
Hi! How are you? Thank you so much for sharing your experience and giving me some sound advice. Lola has been doing the same. In the summer before the dental cleaning and teeth extraction those were her exact same symptoms. She stopped eating. Would look at the food, smell and back away. She was...
Yes! Thank you. I have found a few articles on here which are helpful. I’m also looking for low cost clinics and/or help with her vet costs. I am currently not working and had to apply for carecredit with a joint applicant, paid cash for some of her bills and also had a friend help me out. I’m...
Hello all. I just posted last week about my furbabe Lola. I had to take her to the vet on Friday due to discomfort on the right side of her mouth. She had a dental cleaning and 4 teeth extracted in the summer so I was concerned when this past week she was showing symptoms again. She stopped...
Hey! Good morning. I wanted to give you an update. I took Lola in to see the vet on Friday. The vet said she may have issues with gum disease due to the gingivitis. I don’t understand why after a dental cleaning and an extraction of 4 teeth this could be happening. Couldn’t they see this was an...
Hi! Thank you so much for your reply. I’m sorry to hear your sweet Lola passed away. You said was right past tense? I am like a momma bear with her cubs except mine is a feline and I only have one cat 😂I just called them and left a very detailed message. I figure I should take her back to her...
Hello all. I haven’t posted in a long time. My furbaby Lola had a dental cleaning in the summer and 4 teeth extractions due to gingivitis. She’s been doing great. All of a sudden yesterday she stopped eating her wet and dry food. I see her yelping and pawing at her mouth on the right side. I’m...
I’ve tried everything. And I hate having to hold her by the nape of the neck. She struggles and scratches. When I see the vet I’m 2 weeks I will let him know what’s going on. Thanks for the reply and suggestion!
Hey all. I hope everyone and their furbabes are doing well. My furbabe is 7 years old a tabby named Lola. I have had issues with her since I adopted her at barely 3 months with grooming. Back then I started suffering from chronic pain and when she’d make a fuss I would just give up. I was...
You’re right. I’m just so worried 😟 she’s going to be freaking out the moment I leave her side. But as long as all is well with the procedure and her recovery I’ll be alright 🙏🏽💜💕
Thank you! Yes I found scratchpay at one of the sites for another vet as form of payment along with care credit. I’m happy to say she is still eating, playful as always. Her vet is seeing her December 20th but the clinic told me if there are any cancellations before then they will call me. I was...
Hey all. I’m new on here. I have a furbabe I adopted from AC&C shelter back in 2013. Her name is Lola and she is now 7. She is the love of my life and we have been through so much together. I am disabled and have no help from family, not many friends. So it’s been difficult for me to keep up...
