Poor Mog

[Supertrooper]

My cat had 8 teeth out yesterday, now got no upper teeth left apart from incisors and only 3 on bottom, they will need to come out in next 6 months

Unfortunately he’s got an immune condition that causes his gums to be super sore and only way to cure it long term is removing teeth

It’s even harder as a vet nurse when your animals need treatment but he’s ok ish, he’s on strong pain meds and is eating wet food ok

Animals are so resilient but I bet he's feeling a bit sorry for himself. Hope he's feeling more comfortable soon.

Poor Mog, hope he’s feeling better soon.

Poor Mog. Hope he recovers quickly.

Poor Mog. Hope he feels better soon.

Oh bless . He'll be fine in no time and a lot lot happier.
It will help his system, and from experience, there's not a lot they can't eat . My oldie Oriental has no teeth at all and gums everything quite happily

Poor little Mog! Anyone would feel sorry for themselves after that, but Shady’s post above shows that it can all be for the best

Oh poor Mog. Get well soon!

Cat soup needed! Poor Mog. Hope he recovers quickly.

Thank you all, I feel v mean but needed to be done. He’s had a long sleep this afternoon and just had some wet food plus Gabapentin

One very tired and poorly boy

Hope he feels better soon. I’ve found that usually teeth removal barely affects their ability to eat even hard kibble.

King Kevin Kat and I are sending positive vibes and hopes for a fast and comfortable recovery.

Evening update

After a half dose metacam injection at lunchtime (we have to be careful because of slightly high kidney levels) he has perked up hugely. His face has lost its tight worried look, he’s not dribbling and is much more like mog including playing with his ping pong balls

He’s back to see dental specialist tomorrow

 

[Supertrooper]

Post op check tonight with dental specialist, he’s pleased with how he’s doing. Slight wound breakdown where canine teeth removed but in an awkward area unfortunately

Because his kidney levels were ok on bloods this time we are going to continue with low ish dose of metacam for 3-4 days as yesterdays injection made such a positive difference and Gabapentin not quite cutting it

We’ve also started him on Solensia which is cat version of Librela as for a time I’ve suspected he may have spinal arthritis so really hoping that helps him

He’s back home, had his tea plus metacam and is now asleep

Sounding very positive now. It's often a little harder on them if the canines come out. I've always tried to leave them if possible , but sometimes you just can't.
Teeth /gum issues are the curse of the Gremkitties ( Siamese and Orientals ).
Metacam is also my go to after teeth extractions
