Ronnie & Luna said:I'm wondering where he was prior to the 70, ...
did you give him a lot of HC at the time?
any more pain meds due tonite?
Sienne and Gabby said:What pain meds is Java prescribed? Is this bupe from for the extractions? If it is, it's an opiate -- it will make him lethargic and possibly a little loopy.
Could he be having an IBD flare?
Sienne and Gabby said:Did the vet give you anything for the pain from the extractions? And did Java get antibiotics? (I'm just trying to figure out why he growled at you.) Is he litter box activity normal?
Sienne and Gabby said:Maybe it's me but does something seem "off" with Java? Is this typical behavior after a vet visit or some procedure?
D. Carmichael said:A crown amputation procedure has been described for "extraction" of teeth exhibiting FORL. In this procedure, the crown of the tooth is removed while intentionally leaving the roots behind. Cats with associated periodontal disease or gingivitis/ stomatitis should never be considered candidates for crown amputation. Dental radiography is essential for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
Sienne and Gabby said:You know your cat and I'm a firm believer in trusting your gut when it comes to kitties.
Just out of curiosity, did the vet get dental x-rays? Generally, crown amputations are not recommended without x-rays to sort out what's going on. If Java is still hiding tomorrow, I'd call the vet. Bupe can cause a paradoxical reaction of agitation although most cats are stoned!

Libby and Lucy said:can you call your vet? It doesn't sound right that he is limp 24 hours after his dental, and if he hasn't had bupe since this morning. How much bupe did you give this morning?
Sienne and Gabby said:How much has he eaten all day? And he's peed and pooped?
Sienne and Gabby said:I'm not sure what to suggest other than to keep an eye on him. If your gut tells you to take him to the ER, I'd go. Otherwise, if there's no change in the AM, call the vet and get him in. There could be an infection brewing from the dental although I'd expect higher numbers if that were the case.
