A more detailed update on Sweetie:
She had four teeth extracted, included both upper and lower left-side canines.
Adult cats should have 30 teeth; Sweetie now only has five!
For the first day and a half, she acted more feral than ever before, and I was unable to administer any of the meds I was given:
Oral Buprenophine: liquid pain relief
Onsior: non-steroidal pain relief
Azithromycin: liquid antibiotic
Doxycyline Monohydrate: capsule antibiotic
The Hubby and I left her alone, and didn't push hard.
Last night, she came out from under the dresser, and allowed me to pet her.
She even ate a teeny, tiny bit.
She slept a bit with me, and I got up several times last night to simply sit with her.
This morning, she has avoided food (where I've mixed in some water and meds), and again is hiding under the dresser.
However, she's got to get at least some of these meds into her system, so we may grab her, and syringe some into her mouth.
I feel like the meanest cat mom in the world, for gaining Sweetie's trust, then having her go through all of this!
On the other hand, her bloodwork results are excellent, which is a blessing.
I adore Sweetie, and she's teaching me to be PATIENT, but so far, I've been a poor student.
I adore The Hubby, who's had to scrape me off of the ceiling more than once in the last few days.
Thank you to SD, ET, and JB for your 'you can do it's online!
