So my 16-year-old cat has had just about everything on him examined in the last half year except his teeth. He has kept us distracted with other problems, so who knows how long this has gone on. He's been reluctant to do much in the past three days. He will probably have to get a top canine removed, maybe a few others. I'm not too worried about that, and at his age it's bound to happen. I happen to live right down the road from a specialist who does very cheap surgeries and is highly rated. People travel from other cities to go to this place, so that all looks great. And the whole package will cost $355 unless we get xrays, so I can swing that. I'm wondering if anyone has had to deal with oral surgery and HCM? Is it even relevant? His only medication right now is plavix (blood thinners). How about senior cats and post-op care? Any tips? To be honest, my family made me put my cats outside growing up, and they never lived very long, so this is a brand new territory for me.
