Need vibes for Merlin tomorrow

When I got Merlin last September I noticed that his the upper gums at the back of his jaw were swollen and red. The vet said that there is a tendency toward gingivitis in abyssinians and I should just keep an eye on it. I do attempt to brush his teeth 5-6 times a week. He actually end up eating most of the enzymatic toothpaste. He thinks it's a special treat just for him.

A couple of weeks ago I saw that the gums were looking a lot worse, extremely red and swollen enough to completely cover his back teeth. I can't say that it actually hurts him. It certainly hasn't slowed down his eating. Anyway, the vet gave him a cortisone shot to try to shrink the gums down. It did help some with the inflammation, but apparently the overgrowth is not going to go away. The teeth underneath the flap of gum appear to be in good condition.

Merlin goes in tomorrow for a dental under anesthesia. They will trim back the gums and clean his teeth. His surgery will be in the morning and he'll be ready to come home by 4:00 PM, except I won't be able to pick him up until later. I have piano students until 4:30.

Merlin could use some TCS vibes for an uneventful surgery.

for Merlin and his humans! I love Aby's!

Vibes sent for handsome Merlin hun!

lots of good wishes for a safe surgery and a quick recovery - I'm sure he'll feel so much better afterwards.

For Merlin & Meowmy!

Lots of vibes headed that way for Merlin and for you

Happy Dental Day to you Merlin, you'll feel so much better after!

Thanks for all the vibes. I dropped Merlin off at the vet about 2 hours ago. He wasn't allowed to eat after 10:00 PM, so I took up all the food. I usually free feed, but didn't have any way of keeping the Monkey out of the food, so everybody had to go hungry. When I got up this morning I discovered that I had accidentally shut Merlin in the office which meant I had made the girls unhappy for no reason.

for Merlin

that all is going well.

. . . and just as feisty as ever. I thought he was going to get the door of the carrier open before I could get him into the house. He's been running around like crazy, bugging the girls. I haven't been able to hold him still long enough to look in his mouth. Maybe later when he falls asleep.

Thanks for the happy update!

Thats great news good for him!! I know you must be relieved.

The vet gave me enough pain pills for two days in case Merlin needed them. He ate just a little bit, not as much as usual, and was looking a bit shell-shocked, so I gave him a pain pill this evening. I think maybe I won't do that again. He's practically bouncing off the walls now.

LOL! Well I am very glad that is doing so well!
