I loved the vet tech after the surgery for saying, "You know, you can sit here and beat yourselves up for how he was in pain before, but the more important thing is that you fixed it, and now he'll be so happy and pain-free. Concentrate on that." Sage advice. Thank you for your well-wishes! It all went well, even though the vet said it was the worst case she'd seen. Yikes.

She did a great job with the surgery, and uncovered that nasty ear infection as well AND a vaccination that was missing from his last set of shots. They did a terrific job helping our poor kitty and we are just so happy. And better, Lucky is really happy!

That's a great idea. I don't think we'll ever go back to that other vet. The surgery went great -- thanks for your thoughts! He's a lovey dovey (but messy) guy in recovery. So much happier with those things gone. :)Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15868505568965284742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7998166587816121679.post-77618090608073764012016-03-19T12:20:36.609-07:002016-03-19T12:20:36.609-07:00Thank you!

That's great to check proactively at each vet appointment, since cats are so terrible at showing that they feel crappy. Lucky did great at his surgery! He's recovering like a champ.

Yeah, I would say if your cat's breath smells like death and drooling is constant, go to the vet ASAP. ALthough when it got to that point we did get a vet involved... Lucky's surgery went great and he is so very happy to have those diseased teeth out of his head!

My cat who has now passed was going in for a dental cleaning, and when they did bloodwork they discovered her kidneys weren't working well. She had had a UTI for god knows how long! Possibly years! She was my constant companion and I saw absolutely zero symptoms! Crazy. I make my cat now get a urine test at his yearly checkup. He hates me and I'm not sorry. I will be thinking good thoughts for Lucky.

I have never before heard of this bacteria before, but it's good to know, esp since all my pets are shelter rescues too.<br />I don't at all think you are a terrible pet parent...sometimes you just truly can't tell when something is going on. I can't write about it in detail because it breaks my heart, but my dog I had to put down suddenly several years back didn't show she was THAT sick until she was. <br />Hoping Lucky's surgery goes well and that he recovers quickly!Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08987444437659867827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7998166587816121679.post-83303329735404100142016-03-10T18:25:54.312-08:002016-03-10T18:25:54.312-08:00Oh poor Lucky!!
