My cat tried to eat this morning and couldn't walked away from his dish meowing in pain and pawing at his mouth ....Soooo being Sunday no vets are open had called and get a vet to come in and a huge cost but didn't want him in pain til tomorrow....He said he didn't see abbesses ..but a lot of inflammation ...gave him a shot of buprenorphine ..wanted to give him metacam but I questioned him on that....He said its much safer and we are more aware and so on...so I had said ok fine I have to trust you and he said other than your cats mouth he is in great shape BUT then I said how many 15 yr old cats do u know that have NO kidney issues and he said not many....Then again I said I have to trust you....BUT then he back tracked and said ok nevermind the metacam if I don't feel comfy then he doesn't....he said til he see's his bloodwork...
SO anyways he is going for blood work tomorrow and if all is well I will agree to the metacam I think ???? Til he can be scheduled for a dental...they only do it Tue and Thurs and are booked but hoping to squeeze him in....
I am one worried mama tho He is 15 and hasn't eaten anything today I suspect....he won't wanna eat much with a sore mouth....I am more worried about him not eating more so than the dental....
I know I am worried about something that hasn't even happened yet...typical of me ...he is going to have a min of 4 teeth removed...
Just wondering if there are any other senior that have had dentals and all went well ??
thanks
