4/28 Walter PMPS 178 / Mandarin PMBG 232 - home from vet

[Mandarin'sMom]

Last condo

I am incredibly relieved that my baby boy is back home with me and that his dental went well. Mandarin lost all of his remaining teeth though. Sixteen in total. His mouth was a mess. Lots of gingivitis. Several teeth were loose. One of his canines was fractured. There was significant gum recession. Three molars had furcation exposure. He had several resorptive lesions. I can't believe that he never even showed that he was in pain.

He is pretty pathetic at the moment though. He hasn't shown any interest in food. I will give him Bupe in a little bit and I hope that he will feel well enough to eat after that.

I also haven't started him back on Insulin yet. At this point, I will make sure that he is eating consistently before I give him any juice.

What a week! I am physically and emotionally exhausted. So glad that tomorrow is Saturday!!!

Aww, poor Mandarin. Tons of feel better vines on their way.

 

[Sandy and Black Kitty]

Glad to hear the dental went well. I'm sure that's gotta be painful and pain can elevate BG.
BK ran low during his first dental (30!). Although he was 335 at +24 I waited until +35.5 to shoot-and then it was slightly over 1/2 dose. I too wanted to make sure BK was was eating consistently before resuming insulin.

Sending speedy incident free recovery vines Mandarins way

Yowza, what a dental. I'm so glad he's home and now on the road to recovery. Sending tons of prayers for speedy healing.

 

[Ella & Rusty & Stu(GA)]

Tons of healing vines for Mandarin! Poor baby!! I think that at one time in his life before us Rusty had 10 teeth removed at one time, and then there were more extractions. He has 5 teeth left. I guess that's 5 more than Mandarin!
We hope he will heal swiftly and learn how to eat without teeth.
Here's to your brave boy

I'm glad Mandarin is home. Poor kitty. Cats are so good at hiding things. Sending prayers for his recovery and hugs to you.

 

[Judy and Boomer]

Ah poor Mandarin! That's amazing that he had all those bad teeth and didn't show any discomfort!
Happy that he's back home and hopefully the bupe makes him comfortable enough to eat.

Poor baby. It's amazing and scary how well cats hide pain. Healing vines.

 

[Kris & Teasel]

Your poor kitty! I hope you can keep him comfortable with bupe and he has an uneventful recovery.

 

[Mandarin'sMom]

He's eating! He already licked some bone broth two hours ago and now he's eating some canned food. Very happy to see that.

 

[Barbara & Uncle (GA)]

Oh good boy Mandarin! You guys have been through a lot and I'm so happy to hear he is eating a little bit tonight.
Sending tons of healing vines and hugs

 

[Olive & Paula]

Wow a lot of discomfort there. Glad his dental got all that out. And eating already what a good boy. Feel better Mandarin. Enjoy the pain meds.

 

[Tricia Cinco(GA) & Harvey]

I was going to suggest baby food - Harvey found that easiest to eat after extractions - but if he's eating moist food you're good. Did you add a little more water than usual to it?

Cinco had basically no teeth left his last year or so - most of them were lost through resorption. It didn't slow down his eating one tiny bit! I'm sure, once the pain is gone, Mandarin will be eating like a champ and his BGs will come down.

Sending healing vines.

 

[Shoeskitty-GA]

Wow! That sounds incredibly painful for Mandarin!!! I am so glad that it's over and he is eating! Hope that he doesn't need any insulin after this!
