Pattern seems stuck.
Awaiting results of bloodwork this a.m. from vet. When I get her email address I will send her the PDF of the Roomp paper about the protocol (Thanks Sienne!). I discovered that a low cost surgery place I'd heard of in town does dentals as well, but I need to get up with them for more details, this is from their website:
"The cost of a dental at Helping Hands is $175.00 and includes cleaning, polishing, extractions, pain medications and antibiotics. Cats over 9 years of age require pre surgical blood work for their safety which can be done at our office the morning of the procedure for an additional $50.00." (waived if vet has bloodwork <48 hrs. old)
They're not open on weekends, but I will contact them about whether they will do xrays, if they have experience specifically w/ diabetic cats, what pain/anti-biotics meds they use etc. I watched a video on their site, and as they're cleaning they make decisions on teeth that need extracting, due to decay, receded gum lines etc. They won't pull healthy teeth, but will take as many as they deem necessary, at no extra cost. They first chart whatever teeth are already missing, and at the end, will give you a chart showing which teeth they extracted.
They do not do diagnostic work so I guess that may mean they don't do xrays? I might have to have a referral from my vet (that might get touchy?!). They do come highly recommended as a quality place to get low cost procedures done in order to help prevent people from deciding on euthanasia due to cost. It's all outpatient as well.

. I have to go sing at the ordination of a friend as a new UU minister today, and so at least this buys me a mostly worry free afternoon.
