| Poor Skootch. I've noticed his bad breath for a while. It's WAY worse than regular stinky cat breath. He had one tooth removed a couple of years ago. I took him to the vet a few weeks ago, and he definitely has tooth problems - we won't know how extensive until he's under anesthesia. And speaking of that, we had blood work done, plus an ultrasound (he has a heart murmur), to make sure he could tolerate anesthesia. THEN we had to wait for a couple of weeks, waiting for a surgery slot to open up. I am feeling anxious - he is 16 - plus he's having trouble chewing. I wish we could have had this done sooner. I feel guilty because I had to delay dealing with this on account of my rush job. He may lose teeth. |
the cats have something to say...

Yikes! Purrs and hugs from all of us. That is scary at any age.
ReplyDeleteWe sure wish Skootch the very best. Any kind of medical/dental stuff is worrisome. The lady had a cat named Elvis who had chronic, on-going dental problems (because of being FIV positive). If they can pull a few bad teeth, then I'm sure Skootch will be fine (and feel really good, too!).
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my blog and wishing me well.
Poor baby! That can be scary for anyone...we sure wish you well...and Skootch will feel much better!
ReplyDeletePurrs,

Oh poor Skootch!! I have had a problem with Stomatitis and the vet did something by freezing my mouth and getting the lesions removed. It actually worked quite well and I have not had any teeth removed yet!. I hope Skootch will be ok. Sending healing purrs! xox
ReplyDeletePoor Skootch, We'll keep him in our prayers. It is very scary with his age and the heart murmur.
ReplyDeleteSima needs to have a tooth come out too, but so far I haven't taken the risk... with her kidney failure and all. You be strong Skootchie!!!!
Better to have the teeth removed than risk infection that can spread rapidly through the bloodstream. Hope Skootch manages surgery well and is soon doing better. We will keep him in our purrs, prayers and thoughts. Purrs and paw-pats, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
ReplyDeleteWe just took our two nine-year-olds in for dental cleanings and a full blood panel. Luckily, they are all good, but we have to be much more diligent with the brushing. Here's hoping Skootch will have better news than you think. Cute cartoon too.
ReplyDeleteWe'll be thinking of you, Skootch. Dental work is obnoxious but I bet you'll feel better once it's done!
ReplyDeleteis it wrong that this is most likely my favorite sketch that you have done
ReplyDeleteThanks, Connie. I think adding the little kitties at the bottom made it.
Deleteand do not feel bad about 'waiting'.. cats hide things so very well,
