Update on Allie


Today our little princess had her very first dental cleaning ever.  I (wrongly) assured her it would be a piece of cake.

And it was, to begin with. The veterinarian told us it was a total breeze: very little plaque, and as easy as could be...until they got to the very last tooth.

That's when we began to feel like we were in the movie Groundhog Day: she,too, had tooth resorption. And it was the very worst kind - almost 100% of the roots of her back molar had been reabsorbed into the bone.

These back molars are the most difficult to extract, and Allie is going to be on pain medication for a few days (Bupronorphine, a morphine derivative for cats). And antibiotics, to stave off infection.

Poor little girl. She didn't have much fun today.

  3. Awww... Allie... I feel your pain. But do you know what? When the pain from what the doctor did to your tooth goes away, you'll feel a million percent better. I can practically guarantee it! It won't take long. Just FEELS like forever. A few days on the meds and you're gonna be as good as new. Promise.

    Purrs,
    Nissy

    1. She's only six, and had such good teeth the vet never thought she needed cleaning. Even this time was borderline, just mild plaque. That back tooth had to have been hurting her though, so it's a good thing we decided to get them cleaned.

  13. Yikes, poor Allie. Tell her Nicki and Derry have been there...Derry actually only has one upper molar left, I believe. The others were removed in June 2010 (he had 9 extractions).

    She'll do fine once she's healed, though!

    Purrs for speedy healing.

  16. Poor Allie. POTP! Get well soon, Allie.

    I guess if there's any consolation for the pain you're enduring right now, it's that you won't have that last tooth bugging you anymore.
