Has anyone had any experience with a cat having an infection after getting a k9 removed?
My kitty had her tooth removed due to a fracture two weeks ago. Day of surgery Vets provided an antibiotic in the form of a one time shot. When I brought her back in for her one week check up they said she has an infection. After looking at her mouth I could agree. It was pussy and inflamed. But aside from it looking gross she didn't seem to notice or care. But they gave her another antibiotic shot and sent us on our way.
However since the check up (4 days ago) she seems to have not improved. The infection looks worse and despite her wanting food and being hungry it clearly hurts her to eat so she gives up after a few bites.
I have found absolutely zero information on the internet. Any help or advice? I'm just surprised that two antibiotic shots have not fixed it. And they didn't clean or restitch the socket or give her more pain meds. Is that normal? How can I help her?
