My cat Sabrina had dental surgery today. Her first dental cleaning by my sister, Dr. Jenn, was done about four years ago. At that time, Jenn found she had some decaying teeth and had to remove three. At Sabrina's recent check-up, they saw some irritation in her gums and tartar on her teeth and suggested another cleaning. Sure enough, the x-rays detected additional teeth that needed to come out. Poor girl had three teeth removed today, as well as a small mole-like spot removed from her head. She seems to be happy now that she's home, and I have pain meds to give her for the next couple days while she heals.
It's so hard to watch her go through this, but I know it's for the best and will hopefully keep her healthy and here with me longer. I took a video when I got her home tonight to share with Dr. Jenn and the family. Her purr is very loud, due to her scratchy throat from the trachea tube for breathing while she was under anesthesia.

Your Sabrina has the SWEETEST disposition! She also has the tiniest feet and they accentuate her potbelly. She's like one of those Boynton cartoon cats.
This is your cat. This is your cat on drugs.
I'm glad she got through it, and hope she continues to make a good recovery. You definitely reduced the amount of pain and infection in her life!
That is a very sad sound coming from her! Patchie made a funny whimpering sound when she was coming out of her sedative, too. Glad she is back at home and mending!
Love, M
