I have to take Hidey in for his dental Thursday. He is getting a cleaning and at least one tooth pulled. He has been off insulin since 3/18 although his numbers are slowly rising, but I think its due to his bad tooth. What precautions should I take? Last time he had teeth pulled they gave him a pain killer, dont remember the name, also I can't remember if they gave him antibiotics or not. Is there pain meds or antibiotics that should be avoided? Is there anything special I should ask them to do? I know I was nervous last time he went in for his cleaning, but now I'm even more nervous nailbite_smile Im also thinking about them lancing a cyst off the top of this head. It about 1 cm in size. They offered to remove it last time, it is not cancerous, so I said no since it doesnt seem to bother him. Well, about 2 or 3 months ago he was playing with one of my other cats and I guess they got him in that spot with their back claw and bleed pretty bad, I kept cleaning it, and took forever to heal....now Im worried about that happening again and it getting infected. Do you think this is ok, or should I just leave it be?
Also I know he is due to get his rabies and vaccines, should I have them do it all at once so I dont have to have him go through the stress of going back in a month? Rabies are mandatory here yearly and I am now keeping them up to date on the FIV due to the fact that I worry about us taking in a stray (I had to keep my other cat Hot Rod in another room for 2 months since they weren't up to date at the time)
