Well, the vet agrees with me that China looks miserable (DUHHH)
She says the inside of her mouth looks good....no sign of infection or anything. She has lost over a pound (she needs to lose it, but this isn't the way to do it!!)
She thinks that she's having a hard time processing the anesthesia drugs even though they used drugs that are supposed to clear quickly. She was dehydrated so got 150mls of fluid and a shot of Cerenia just in case she's nauseous.
She also said "Let's not give her any more of the Simbadol since this is the second time she's reacted badly to it" (Another DUHHHHH) …..but she DID note it on her record.
She doesn't want me to give her any bupe (although she's never had any trouble from the oral stuff in the past)…….Not sure what I think of this since she's obviously still in pain (in my opinion) ….when I can get her to take a tiny lick of something, she still acts like her mouth doesn't work right.
Just tried a little food again and got about 2 licks of chicken baby food before she made it very obvious she was done. She didn't go for it like she wanted it as much as I put a little on her "lips" and when she licked it off, she took another couple of small licks.
She has finally gone to the litter box to pee...she hadn't peed since she'd been home from the dental....she's also still "leaking" a little of the fluids.
She looks awful....her shiny white coat is dull and dirty from all the drool. At some point, I think she's going to have to have a bath to get her cleaned up, but I'm sure not going to do it while she feels this bad!!
If she still hasn't eaten by tomorrow morning, she'll have to go back and get some IV fluids. I don't know how I'm going to be able to pay for something like that but I guess I'll find a way.
I did lock the cabinet doors so she can't get back under the sink. Easier for me to keep my eyes on her that way.
Appreciate all the prayers, vines and good wishes you send our way!!!
