Brushing Peggy Sue last night I noticed her chin is slightly swollen. She freaked out when I tried to look in her mouth.Wrapped her in a towel. Bottom molar looks infected,all red around the tooth. I feel terrible that i didn't notice all this sooner, been overwhelmed since Ravan got diabetes.:(

Spoke with my vet last year about having her teeth cleaned. He felt because of her age & weight loss,she wouldn't do well with anesthesia. I've seen kitties on the forum have a real hard time after having dental done. Some had fragments left in their jaw & didn't act right for weeks after.

I'm waiting to hear back from my vet.Don't know if i should start her on antibiotic? Nearest vet that specializes in animal Dentistry is over 40 miles away. The most important thing is someone that monitors the anesthesia while the dental is being done. I'm afraid she might die during the dental!

It must be from the CBD Oil because she continues to eat & she's even playful & in a good mood. I'm so confused on what to do!
 
Sending prayers to peggy sue and I agree she needs vet, bella did the same right before dx of diabetes he had an abscess and they pulled and cleaned his teeth, 1 month later diabetes
 
Hard decision! You'll see what the vet says; if she's got infection, you'll have to go with AB anyway, dental or not!

I know how you feel, the same happened to me! I was so dedicated to my kitty with CKD ending stage last year, I didn't notice Ti-Mousse was loosing a lot of weight; maybe I could have catch his diabetes right at the beginning if I would have been more attentive :(
Finally, we always try to do the best we can !:bighug:
 
Great start to the day Ravan!

Re: Peggy Sue
Don't be so hard on yourself! The swelling could have come up overnight, infections are tricky that way. There is always the possibility that an antibiotic will be enough to clear the problem :). Hopefully your vet will have more of an insight on the problem and it can be cleared without dental. Fingers crossed!

Feel better Peggy Sue :):bighug:

How did Bella react when he came home from the dental? Years ago my cat hid in a dark room for a week. Every time I came in the room he hissed at me! He was never as affectionate with me as before the dental.

I'm so worried about Peggy Sue not making it with the anesthesia.

He wants me to put her on Clavamox for 10 days. I told the tech I'm sure she needs the tooth pulled but she still told me to try the antibiotic first.

Was Bella's chin or mouth swollen at all?
How old is Bella now?
