This was a frustrating experience. Everything she experienced last night was saying mouth pain but they couldn’t find anything wrong with her teeth. Is it possible that he was so focused on teeth that he didn’t inspect her tongue? He said her gums and what remaining teeth she has left are doing fine. Nothing wiggled like it was loose and he said even under anesthesia, a sore tooth will get a reaction and she did not react to any of her teeth being wiggled or prodded. X-rays showed what teeth she has remaining are still doing well and the one root that’s so nearly resorbed already that it would probably cause more trouble to try to extract it than to let the body do it for her since it’s almost finished. In other words, she’s likely not noticing that at all.
So we’re both at a loss for next steps. He gave her a bupe SR injection because I wrote on the consent form, “No Convenia, Yes Bupe SR” which I meant, “if you’re doing extractions...” but he took it to mean give her an injection either way. This is not the worst thing. We get 3 days of bupe to see if that resolves her eating. If it does, I also have my transdermal prescription being refilled for pick up tomorrow. That will buy us time until we can decide the next step.
I also need to get a video of her “lick and wince” that I can send to the vet.
Right now, she’s relaxing on the bed. I am hoping she has groomed herself enough for that but I guess we can always go back to the laundromat again tomorrow.
Aside from some meat stock, she hasn’t really touched the food tonight. I put out some pate-style from the can and another can I whipped up like a milkshake and put a puddle of that on another plate. Let’s see if she has a texture preference.
She had a rough day. I’m thinking about getting out of her hair for a couple of hours, and giving her time enough for a good nap at home. I’m sure she’ll come around again to food once she’s feeling more settled. She had a rough path to get back to the bed. But it is nice to see my poop cat back where she belongs.
