Awww that's fab news, I'm sure he'll be okay bless him and it will be great once his gums have healed

Give him a big cuddle from me when you pick him up

ccmacey · « **Reply #28 on:** January 17, 2008, 13:56:54 PM »

He's fine, just a bit sleepy

He's had all his molars and pre molars out and the roots. Maybe more as the nurse said the vet will know more.

The bloods dont know about yet as the vet hasnt written it up yet ( I asked for his bloods to be taken to test his kidneys and liver because of the steroids ) And the cost at the moment is £189, Well worth it and Im so pleased I've been able to do this for him.

I hope he's ok, 3.45 pick up time

I expected Clapton's tongue to hang out but it doesn't. He still tried to do all the things he did when he had teeth. Gumming grass, grooming is no problem except he can't get the sheaths off his claws. He is none the wiser

I suppose Im just worried about the after, the pain, the getting used to no teeth but I suppose it's better than the pain he would of suffered if he was not treated.

Old Mog has no teeth and it doesn't stop her! I wasn't even aware until she went for a vet visit and he said "oh, she's got no teeth!"

She's never had any trouble eating dry or wet and still loves crunchy treats. (She is a little odd, though!) She's currently sat on my knee headbutting my arm, actually!

Good luck, Ollie!

Yep he will have a jab but it wears off after 24hrs or so. In a big dental you often get some oral metacam to follow on with, Simon enjoyed his very much as its honey flavoured, yum yum

ccmacey · « **Reply #23 on:** January 17, 2008, 10:36:36 AM »

Bottle of pain relief?

I think a pain killer will be included.

Mark · « **Reply #22 on:** January 17, 2008, 10:28:56 AM »

True,

I think my vet didn't want to give Clapton too much re CRF

Millys Mum · « **Reply #21 on:** January 17, 2008, 10:27:06 AM »

Good luck ollie

Hopefully he will get a bottle of painrelief!

clarenmax · « **Reply #20 on:** January 17, 2008, 10:16:33 AM »

Good luck for today, I'm sure Ollie will be fine :hug:xx

Mark · « **Reply #19 on:** January 17, 2008, 10:11:45 AM »

Hopefully the vet will give him a shot of Metacam but it might be worth asking as not all vets are too concerned with pain relief. Clapton had one shot on the day and another a few days later when he went for a check up.

Good luck - I'm sure it will all be fine

(I thought I had posted this already

Good luck for today - a/d should be a set price, as it is the price the manufacturers set,

Prices vary as I pay less than what my friend pays at her vets.

CurlyCatz · « **Reply #17 on:** January 17, 2008, 08:38:40 AM »

good luck for today

Christine (Blip) · « **Reply #16 on:** January 17, 2008, 08:04:14 AM »

Good luck, Ollie!

Let us know how it goes, CC

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #15 on:** January 17, 2008, 07:44:25 AM »

Good luck for today - a/d should be a set price, as it is the price the manufacturers set, You can only buy in cans of 24 online, so best to get it from your vet. I have never used it after a dental though, I normally cook them chicken for the first night, and they are generally eating normal food again by the day after (or with some of my cats, teh same night). Snowy had a large amount of teeth out in one go, and was hte only cat to struggle straight after, but it was a different vet, and they did a different anaesthetic, so I suspect that was the prob. Ginger had 6 out in one go, refused the soft food I had bought and asked to go out - but you could still see the anaesthetic in his eyes!!

for Ollie from me, Paddy and Tess

Bazsmum · « **Reply #13 on:** January 17, 2008, 01:10:15 AM »

"Good Luck" at the vets Ollie....& CC dont worry

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #12 on:** January 17, 2008, 01:06:49 AM »

It's usually round about £1.25 a tin but obviously it depends on your vet and it depends on how much Ollie eats as it's only a small tin

I think you can buy it online but I've only ever bought it from the vets. I usually feed mine this for about 3 days after the op, some cats don't eat alot of food straight away with their mouths being sore but Billy wolfed all his food down as soon as I got him home

ccmacey · « **Reply #11 on:** January 17, 2008, 00:58:15 AM »

Is that the only place? How much is it and how much will I need?

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #10 on:** January 17, 2008, 00:57:02 AM »

Hills A/D is a convalescing food, it's a bit like Pate and is very soft and palatable so won't hurt his gums. You can get it from your vets.

ccmacey · « **Reply #9 on:** January 17, 2008, 00:47:14 AM »

What is it and where would I get it?

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #8 on:** January 17, 2008, 00:37:34 AM »

Good luck tomorrow Ollie, I'm sure you'll be fine

CC, it may be worth getting some A/D food in for him to eat until his gums have healed abit, this will be much better for him

ccmacey · « **Reply #7 on:** January 16, 2008, 23:32:10 PM »

Thanks peeps

I know it's the right thing to do I have no doubts in my mind, I have already been too cruel to him by listening to crap vets and letting it go on for this long. It has been a case of I dont know what I got till it's gone, nearly

I suppose Im just worried about the after, the pain, the getting used to no teeth but I suppose it's better than the pain he would of suffered if he was not treated.

I just hope me little black boy can recover from this and he gets a pain free life, after all he does deserve it.

Mark · « **Reply #6 on:** January 16, 2008, 23:08:07 PM »

It's a case of "cruel to be kind" CC - Clapton is a new cat since he had his last teeth out. He is so much healthier and happier - so will Ollie be

It really won't take long for him to feel the benefit - it will be a new lease of life.

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #5 on:** January 16, 2008, 23:04:17 PM »

Ollie I'm sure he'll be just fine CC, tomorrow is the beginning of the rest of his life

The boys may even throw a mini party for him once he's home tucking into a nice tea

Cheesecat · « **Reply #4 on:** January 16, 2008, 23:01:48 PM »

Awwww sending lots of good wishes that this is the start of much better things

Good luck Ollie!

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #2 on:** January 16, 2008, 22:58:31 PM »

I wish Oliie the very best tomorrow and hope that this will be the start of a normal life for him

ccmacey · « **Reply #1 on:** January 16, 2008, 22:57:33 PM »

I just hope he will be ok and everything goes well for him.
