My cat got hes teeth cleaning and i was so worried about the anesthesia
But everything went ok he said we didnt have to remove any teeth only cleaning and he give me med for the gingivitis its clindamycin and he eat and drink is usual before we clean it
But i’m so worried the reason why i took him to the vet he isn't play and never interest in any game and only meowing but the vet said maybe the reason is gingivitis but after the cleaning he seem to be less than before he was purring in the bed before now he is not interesting in anything that the day two for mad
And i talk about he poop before i dont give him any mad yet but hes stool is the same and this is the picture
* i notice he peeing less than before
But he's Urine position is normal and he dont meowing inside the box
Do you think i’m too worried and he is normal???

~ I am thinking your kitty is still feeling the effects of the anesthesia . It can take several days to recover - especially if kitty is sensitive to the medication.
It's good you watch him and keep in touch with the Doc.

I think he will feel much better when all the medicine is out of his body and he feels his new squeaky clean, non-painful teeth :)

Tooth pain can certainly make a cat less playful, less happy etc. Let's hope he recovers soon. If anything happens you can always ask for help then, but he seems fine now. Don't worry!

~ He may still have a sore mouth. As long as you are giving him attention and holding him he's not sad. I have very happy cats and not all of them purr . Some even give me funny looks !

Give him a few days to settle down. The anesthetic can take several days to get out of their system and his gums are most probably sore. The poo condition could be from the anesthetic too. Try not to worry, give him soft food and plenty of love.

I would be patient. Give him his space. He may be upset with you for taking him to the vet.

Your cat has been through a lot, with the stress of the vet visit, anaesthesia, and most likely a sore mouth before and after the cleaning. Not only that but he has been given Clindemycin which is an antibiotic and, like it does with us humans, it can cause upsets to the digestive system. I think it is reasonable that he is still not himself but if you are very worried I suggest you call the vet to ask them about the Clindemycin.
