So.
So. The other day I took Hiro to the vet for his rabies renewal shot. While there the doctor did the obligatory health check since he's essentially middle aged and thats when things go awry in cats.
So he had a full clean bill of health...until the dental check.
I check his teeth when I can ...and lament that they aren't as white as I want them to be but somehow I missed a really bad set of teeth. They were in the back of his mouth and...since I don't tend to stick my finger down his mouth (He's not a fan of it either) I missed them
So I took him in on Monday to have the tooth removed. She took two and couldn't get one on the bottom out so I'm to keep an eye on it.
So yesterday night, I spent the entire night worrying(and planning AX) about him. I guess he was still doped enough to not want to do anything but I could tell he wasn't comfortable. He didn't want food or water and he wouldn't sleep in one spot for more than a few minutes at a time.
Normally he comes into my room and sleeps when I sleep but he didn't.
So today at work, I didn't have a way to keep an eye on him but when I got home he still wouldn't drink any water. I was getting worried but he was moving around normally.
So I grabbed him a fresh can of food and he wolfed it down. YAY!! He's feeling much better. He's still obviously uncomfortable but he should be over it in a day or so.
I managed to start every sentence with So. I find it funny that I spent ten hours taking care of sick people, feeding sick people and making sure their families were okay......and I come home to do the same thing to my cat.
