Bubba 5/9 AMPS 260 Dental Day, PMPS 163

Yesterday

Good Morning L & L ~

Dental Day, YEAH! It wasn't as bad as I thought feeding three other animals and not Bubba. He was in his man cave when I got up so he got closed in while I got the other 3 fed and meds. He is a drooling mess and his little tongue is sticking out and he has his bib all matted from the drool. The vet said I could give 1/2 of his dose but I have never given insulin the morning of a dental before. But, since he was the highest BG's ever prior to the dental, I gave him a token dose of .25 unit instead of 1/2 his dose.

I could not have watched this boy suffer for another week , so I am so grateful that I was a squeaky wheel to get him in today. Anyone see the movie "Terms of Endearment" with Shirley McClain and Debra Winger. The scene where Shirley McClain flips out in the hospitals nurses' station to get their attention for her dying daughter. I was almost that bad in the reception area of the vet's office on Monday when they said the first opening in their schedule was June 4th. The owner of the practice is doing Bubba today. Nice man, he saw Bubba on Monday for the first time. He told me he wished all his clients were as OCD as me. Not sure if that was a compliment or not...........

Vines to all Beans and Kitties in need.

ETA: @Gill & George , the spoon tip really does work. I started him off last night with the spoon and he did finish on his own. Sending comfort vines to BFG and I so hope they get him in ASAP. I will gladly call them for you and "Shirley McClain" them, LOL

 

Sending mega vines and prayers and hugs Bobbie!

 

I'm so glad you got Bubba in today. Sending prayers for you and Bubba.

 

Sending perfect dental and recovery vines to Bubba today

 

Barrels of vines for a good dental day (and no more drool)!

I'd take the OCD comment as a compliment. You are on top of things for your kitties and I suspect that means a great deal to the vet.

In case you haven't had a chance to think about it, you might want to get a jar or two of baby food for Bubba.

 

Best of luck and many vines to Bubba today! Hopefully his toofy problem is taken care of lickety- split.

 

I've got 10 all ready on the shelf. The baby food and FF classics were my saving grace these last 3 days. Hope I will be able to get him back on his raw diet again.

 

Vines for today's dental. So happy you got him in!!! How can you be denied after Shirley McClaining them

For you Bubba

 

Good luck today Bubba! I’m sure you’ll be feeling better soon.

 

Dental vines for Bubba! I think I learned OCD from Shirley McClaine!

 

Something to lighten your day while Bubba gets his dental..

 

Good luck at the Vet today with the Dental..........I'm sure it will go great and all your anxieties will disappear. BTW - I got letters after my name too, none that make me any money but certainly an advantage!

 

Most definitely a complement!

Perfect surgery vines for Bubba.

Score you got the owner to do the surgery. I'm surprised they would have blocked off some times for emergency surgeries, they probably have, but good on you for making them realize this was an immediate need. I'm imagining you going Shirley McClain on them! I hope Gill doesn't need your services but I'm glad she has you as a secret weapon.

 

Barrels of vines for BOB.

Glad the spoon tip helped, something I remembered reading somewhere on the board, it just came to me the other night when I was desperate for BFG to eat. So thankful for all I have learned from members on the board.

Good report from the vet today, dental scheduled for Tuesday morning, his mouth infection is clearing nicely, it looked much less angry today.
LOL I think Dr M thinks I'm OCD too, if it were a phrase they used here I think he would have said as much. But if I have trouble I'll set you loose on them.

 

Good luck at the vet today, Bubba! And peace vines for you, Bobbie! It's always hard to leave our babies. Looking forward to a good report in a few hours!

 

Sending successful dental prayers to Bubba today and prayers of peace for your heart, Bobbie All will be well

 

Vines and prayers!!!

 

Vetty vines for Bubba today. Hope he gets to feel better soon.

 

Funny!!! Great play on words.

 

Yes! For the dental appointment Tuesday! I am sure it can't come fast enough for you and BFG! Hope the AB continues to give him coverage until then.

 

I hope the dental goes well. Sending prayers.

 

We'd all be rich if the OCD credentials paid well for FD application, LOL

 

Sending good thoughts for today and hoping Bubbs comes back with a ravenous appy and no drool

 

Hi Djamila! Amazingly, I was so calm this AM and couldn't get him there fast enough. He was suffering so......it broke my heart. The last toothache that took him out of remission the first time wasn't this bad and his BG's did not get anywhere near as high as they are this time.

How are you and Sam?? I hope your are doing well. Thanks for popping over to Lantus to visit

 

Honestly, it was so bad I was afraid of him dehydrating!

 

So glad you got him in...squeaky wheel always gets the grease. Sending loads of dental vines for Mr. Bubbs!

 

Poor little boy

 

More vines for Bubba's dental today, I'll be thinking about you guys So glad you were able to get him in.

 

Sending you vines for Bubba's dental today! So glad they were able to get him in

 

The Bubster is done! He did well, but lost 2 teeth, the mirror image premolar on both sides of his mouth! No wonder he was suffering so; there was no good side to use to eat with.

I can go get him in another 1 1/2 hours. Can't wait to get my boy.

 

Sending Scritches, glad he'll be home soon.

 

Glad Bubba's dental went well!

 

So glad the Bubster's dental is over and those nasty bad teeth are done and dusted.

 

So glad he's done...prayers for a quick recovery!!

 

Glad everything went so well! Good job Bubba, hope he feels better soon

 

Glad it is over...time for recovery which I wish is quick.

 

So happy to hear this report!!!!

 

Woooooohoooooo

 

Yay!! I am so happy that Bubbs did good! This is fantastic news and I am sure a load of your mind!

 

Oh, the poor guy, that must have been miserable . So glad he sailed through and is now rid of the owie teeth!!!!!

 

Glad that's behind you. I hope they gave him some pain meds and he's feeling great when he returns! Well done, Bubba and you too Bobbie, for making it happen!

 

Bubba is in the house! He was happy to be home and very hungry. The vet instructions was to wait 2 hours home before feeding. Yeah right.....I had to give in at 30 minutes as he was jumping the counters and his cat buffet and falling as he was sort of drunk still. I was afraid of him hurting himself so he got 1.5 oz of baby food.

Getting ready to get T/F/S at 6 pm EST. He was 191 at +8. Hope he came down some. I think since there are pain meds on board and the source of pain has been eliminated, I will shoot .75 unit instead of the 1 unit he was on prior to today. If tomorrow he is too high, I will take back up.

Vet gave him amoxicillin 100 mg., but once a day for 10 days rather than the normal twice a day. I had to ask for them so maybe he is just appeasing me. Pain med in Onisor which I think he had a reaction to once before. I need to look back through his records.

 

So glad he's home!!!

 

Glad to hear it went well!!! The one a day abs are good, both Harley and Davidson were on them and they worked well. Davidson ate too.......if Bubba is eating and can eat some freeze dried treats then perhaps like H&D pain meds would not be needed. They are hard on them, the abs will cause liquipoo and stinks like hell, but they serve a purpose and need to be taken.

Good luck with the dose!

 

Good job Bubba! Now fuds and relaxing!

 

Glad he is home, hungry and hopefully pain free.

 

He is eating in full swing. I might not give the pain meds. If his BG's continue to get better that will be my barometer as to whether he is having pain. I won't let him suffer, but I feel like you, they are hard on them. ( and constipating)

 

Happy to hear that Bubba's dental went well and hopefully he will feel much better without those two bad teeth!

 

Glad Bubba is home, eating and on the road to recovery.

 

Thank goodness Bubbs is home and raiding the buffet Feel better soon buddy.

 

Go Bubbster!!

 

Great to hear Bubba is home and eating like his old self!

 

I'm so glad Bubba is home and eating for you. Sending prayers for a quick recovery.

 

Great news for Bubba! Glad no more toothache!

 

Woo Hoo! What a relief!! A good appetite is the best thing to see after surgery, now you can breathe! Bubba will be thanking you like crazy; you are the Best mom! Sooooooo Happy for ya'!

 

So glad Mr Bubbs is back home safe ands sound and hope you all are having sweet dreams

 

So glad to read that Bubba is home and eating. What a relief for you.

 

Amazing how quick they bounce back huh? Luci had two teeth extracted last Spring. Poor thing had her tongue stuck out for quite some time - and we didn't realize it was a sign of bad teeth! Duh! By the time we got home from Florida she had blood coming from her mouth - rushed her over to the vet and they said they'd need to put her to sleep just to examine but they suspected a dental problem - and they sure enough found two badly decayed teeth and had to remove them - stitched up her gum - and she was home eating her FF the very next day - and so happy to be home! I feel for you and Bubs! Glad he's back at home and eating well...

 

I probably should have mentioned to use a light hand with the insulin. The anesthesia can lower numbers.

 

I had remembered that from last time so I erred on the side of caution and lowered his dose.

 

@Bobbie And Bubba

Numbers may improve too - it’s amazing how much good a dental can do - so happy Bubba is doing so well after the extractions!

Just looking at the SS and see a really great AMPS already!!!
