Just brought my cat home after dental cleaning and having an absessed tooth
pulled. The vet said her breathing would sound congested from her having a
tube down her throat. Indeed her breathing sounds like she has a very loud
congested purr (but there is no purr). The doctor didn't say how long this
would go on... anyone know?
She looks so tired, but she will not sleep. She was sent home with a
morphine type liquid med in syringes for pain, and I gave that to her 1-1/2
hours ago. I hoped that would make her comfortable and let her sleep, but
she just sits up, occasionally paces, and looks worn out. Shouldn't she be
tired and be out by now?
I've never had a cat go through this before, so if anyone can answer my
questions, I would appreciate it. |

many vets do not use the trach tube anymore. they actually hang the cat by
the back legs there in the tube for breathing is not a necessity.

Well then, you are as dumb as I was. My cat is 9 years old and never in
for dental work. She ended up with horrible tartar, an absessed tooth, and
the beginnings of kidney problems because I was scared to bring her in.
So, bite the bullet like I did and bring your cat in sooner than I did. It
will be easier on your cat, and you, if you don't wait as long as I did. >> Stay informed about: HELP - Cat just home from having dental procedure |

I have no clue about your problem, but I am hoping I can ask you
something without being insulted...
How did you know your cat had a dental problem? Something you noticed?
Abnormal behavior?
Thanks.

Who are you talking to?
If you include a snippet of the post to which you are replying, we might
know.

Then I do apologize. It sounded like it was too far out there to be a true
procedure. Doesn't sound like something I'd want done to my pet.

I could see plaque on her back teeth. I had no idea she had an absessed
tooth until they took an x-ray. She showed no signs of pain or trouble
eating. I can't believe her teeth now.... I wish mine were so white and
perfect! :-)
