Hi everyone!

Chispa had a vet visit yesterday to find out why she was pawing at her mouth after eating. It turned out that she had an abscessed tooth -- not great news, but still probably the best case scenario out of all the other things it could have been. (It's almost two years ago that I lost my sweet Chulo to OSCC, and I was scared to death that it could be that.) We were also lucky that they had a cancellation for a dental today, so I took her in early this morning and then tried not to fret all day. She did fine under anesthesia, they pulled the offending molar, and they also took out two of the tiny incisors in front. She's home now and chilling on her crinkly paper, looking a little subdued but not nearly as unhappy as she did when they pulled six teeth last February. She has Onsior for pain management and Clavamox to clear up whatever infection remains from the abscess.

Thanks SO much to all who sent good wishes yesterday!! I'm sorry that the day got away from me and I didn't get to respond, but just know that all the good vibes were felt and appreciated.

p.s. - They shaved both of her wrists, and her little arms are so skinny without the fur that it looks like she is wearing boxing gloves. She's a tough little cookie so I guess it fits!

Ohhhh that's such wonderful news!!! She must look so tough with her boxing legs lol. Pic please when she's feeling better if course!

Oh, sweet Chispa, I hope she recovers quickly and so glad they were able to take care of the nasty tooth. Many prayers and love coming your way, Karen. You must be so relieved!!

Thanks, Angela! I'll see if I can get a good picture in the morning. Her boxing legs are photo-worthy for sure ... but then so is everything cat-related, as evidenced by 21,000 photos on my phone (yes, really) ...

Wow, Karen. Great job taking care of the whole thing!
Chispa will feel so much better now
A pair of boxing gloves could be so fashionable!

I hope you're doing well otherwise, and give Chispa some snuggles from me!!

Thanks, Cecile -- and yes, she is quite a sight! It's a dark gray rainy day here, not good for cat photography, but I am determined to get a picture and post it.

Thanks, Kit! She has perked up quite a bit.
Am I remembering correctly that you are in Canada? Wishing you and Mikan a happy day and weekend, no matter where you are!
