Hey guys, as the title implies, my girl had dental surgery/extractions (yesterday) and I'm pretty sure one of her cheeks is swollen now. Is this normal? I figured it would be due to the nature of the surgery but I looked it up and there was really nothing mentioning it, surprisingly. Most of my other cats have had the same procedure and I didn't notice any swelling (their faces just looked a bit different because of the missing teeth obviously). If it helps, she's acting normal at this point in time, even rubbing her fluffy cheeks on things when she's happy lol. I haven't been able to give her the painkillers due them needing to be taken with food (and she's only eaten a kibble here and there so far).
I'll be calling the vet tomorrow but I'm such a worrywart so I would like some input on whether it's normal or not before then! Thanks
