She can bend, she wants to clean herself but I dint thi k she wants to use her mouth. same for eating. this is how I actually realized her tooth was bad in the first place, she was hungry but wudnt eat. she wud put her head to the plate but wudnt open her mouth. Even after her getting the pain meds yesterday it's surprising to me that she still won't eat. I'm crumbling inside. I know she's hydrated, she is urinating. I don't think she's slept much either. ugh.
I am for both of you, and be sure and find something you can eat, you need to be strong for your baby girl
Thank you so much. she still us not eating and now her behavior is off. they did say the pain meds may cause the behavior changes but I'm not 100% sold on that. it's 5:30am and she just woke me up by headbutting me. she has been letting me finally pet her since yesterday. She looks as if she's hallucinating, not sure what else to call it. she just layer down I just wish she wud sleep. I don't think she has slept since the surgery. 3 1/2 hours before I can call our reg vet. I'm going to beg and plead with them to see her.
I am dressed and ready to go as soon as they are open. actually leaving sooner so I'm there when they open. I am beyond sick about this. I feel I put her in this situation. I never expected this outcome from having a tooth pulled. wish us all the luck you possibly can.
thank you for letting me know!! I am so sick to my stomach over all of this and I feel so so bad for her. I keep asking WHY over and over, why is this happening? I pray my vet will make her better. if that vet who did this to her screwed her up, he best pray I never see him alone!
I too get upset and then read the posts and replies of those who have been cat owners for a long long time. I read and feel their calmness and try to relax . it is expensive, it is emotionally draining , but ti is worth it when all calms back down. And then we get ready for the next "Should I rush her to the vet?" episode. Hang in there. We are with you all the way.
And we do you too! You're the kind of cat owner we wish all cats had
!
thank you to all of you, you have no idea how helpful it's been to reach out and just vent or talk to others who completely understand. The vet called me about 2 hours ago to update me. They did go in and check that hole where the tooth was pulled. we knew from earlier that the stitch came out but when she went back to look again there was some puss in there. So instead of putting her under more anesthesia they just gave her some gas, like they do for people, and they were able to clean it all out and they also sewed a flap over it. She said this not unusual, that this happens but sewing that flap of skin (gum) over it will be better for her. So, they irrigated it and sewed it. They also have her on continuous fluids, antibiotics and pain meds and were able to get some food into her and now she is resting. I have never slept without Lu in my home since I got her about 9yrs ago. I have been on a couple vacations where I have been away but never her gone and I'm missing her so much but I know this was for the best. I have to call tomorrow btw 10:30-11am to see if she is still doing well and if yes, when they want me to pick her up.
I will update then. again I just really want to say how much I appreciate all of you
thank you.And we do you too! You're the kind of cat owner we wish all cats had
