Jade is having her teeth cleaned tomorrow

[Jade59]

Hi everyone.  Nervous mother, here.  Jade will be going under for a dental cleaning tomorrow, Wednesday.  I am hoping there won't be any extractions this time, but I wouldn't be surprised. Poor girl has bad gingivitis, as well, so I hope the cleaning makes her feel better.  I've put this off after reading the posts about the kitties coming out of anesthesia with brain damage.  We would be devastated if that happened.  Jade needs your prayers tomorrow that all goes well.  Thank you!

I think she was jus chillin' in the sun, lol.  She's got good parents who love her.  What more could she want.  She's a lucky kitty.....maybe you should cut her pain meds in half?  ((>^.^<))))) whoa, kinda got away with me, lol.

LOL!  You're so funny.  Biiiiig kitty hugs.  Thanks, Linda.  We just adore her.  She's easy to adore. Giving her half the pain med is a good idea.

Give Miss Jade a big hug from Snickers, and me too!!

I bet she looks pretty spiffy laying in the sun with those pearly whites!!!

Thank you, Sara.  Hugs happily accepted.  

Unfortunately, Jade is not feeling too spiffy today.  I think she's constipated.  She didn't want to eat this morning for my husband and when she went outside, she just swished her tail a few minutes looking miserable, then came back in and went to her sick place which is where I found her at 8 when I got up.  I tried massaging her tummy which she didn't seem to mind, then she wanted to eat.  Seems very lethargic and nothing like she was last night.  Would imagine between the anesthesia, antib's and pain meds, she hasn't been able to have a bm.  She's very round and bloated it seems.  Drinking more water than I've seen in a year.  At first I thought it might be her teeth, but she ate just fine. She's outside just huddled on the grass with what looks like no intention of making her way to the garden.  We will not give anymore pain meds.  Hope we don't have to go to the vet.  Maybe I should go buy some Miralax?  Any suggestions?

Oh, dear I was so glad with your last posts...
So our poor girl its not feeling fine today... Maybe its just medicine side effect , I do hope situation get better soon.
If I was near maybe I could help you with pills business, but mercifully you have a quite "useful" DH
I dont know if I can manage that so well with someone's cat ,maybe I'm just blessed with a cat  as sweet and peaceful as Loreena but I could try
I give those to the others and they are not like her..

Lolo is not hungry today as well, but not letargic, thank goodness.
It seens like our girls have planes of making  her mothers crazy
I'm still keeping her inside from 5pm on, I'm seriously considering let her take a night walk today but Im afraid cos today is 13th Friday!
But I know its time for, just didnt do cos she accepted be inside  easly easily this 2 last days

Big hug, hon! From me  and Mc Cat's family

I'm sure it's the meds, Apple.  I forgot about pumpkin and had my husband buy some Miralax.  Put about half a tsp on her food.  I eyeballed the garden so I could tell where it had been disturbed should she go out there when I wasn't looking and sure enough, I found a fresh bm; however, neighbor cat was on the fence earlier so could of been her, but I think it was Jade.  She was curled up in her outside chair after I found it and looking peaceful so I think it was her.  She ate just fine too once my husband got home with the Miralax.  Vet called and Urinalysis was perfect so that's a load off my mind.  Wants another recheck in 3mos.  

We're giving her liquid, Apple.  It's a little trickier than the pills don't you think?  You're offer to help is sweet and appreciated.  Jade choked this morning again which doesn't make us feel very confident.  That's great, Loreena is so easy.  Jade is, too, it's US with the problem.  I don't think my husband is doing it right, but he's great about anything that has to do with her and is more than willing to help.  I've been telling him to take a deep breath before we start in order to be calm.  I am eliminating the pain med - Jade is eating just fine - even the hard food so I don't think she's hurting too badly.  I gave it last night more so she would sleep inside since by midnight, she was looking like she wanted to stay outside all night.  

I think it's wise of you keeping Loreena in after 5pm.  I'm glad she's been willing to stay which makes it easier on you.  Thanks again, Apple.  Big Hugs back to you, Loreena and the girls!
