Update on Sue!

[Jenny and Sue]

Poor baby. After his dental in March, the doc said he was probably going to need to have the remaining teeth extracted. He started to lose another canine
last week, so I took him Tuesday to the only board certified veterinary dental surgeon in Cincinnati. He did xrays and then removed all of Sue's remaining
teeth and roots. It cost $1100, but I believe he will be much happier. His breath was immediately improved. Even though he has a mouth full of stitches, he is eating like a champ. He is holding steady at his pre-diabetes weight of 11.0 lbs. He is still OTJ (7 months) and his blood sugar is usually around 85!

I hope this post finds all the sugar cats and civies well!!!!

Oh poor Sue! I'm sure she'll feel much much better once her franken-mouth heals up!

Having just had oral surgery, I can commiserate with your Sue! I'm glad to hear that eating isn't a problem and numbers are still good.

It's amazing. His breath doesn't smell at all anymore! You can actually hold him in your arms while he grooms himself and NOT PASS OUT! He's still sleeping a lot, but seems to not be in any pain.
