I have visions of poor Chynna!
Like you I pretty much had a plate of food constantly in hand and whenever she was laying down I would shove it under her face in the hopes she would eat. In the end she would just give me a dirty look and just get up and move to another spot on the bed, but not before pointedly making an effort to "bury" the plate under my blankets!

Your poor baby Bugsy!
He can't seem to catch a break, can he? At least he is with you, recieving all the care and love he needs.

I'm glad to read that today he's showing some improvement, and I hope he'll continue to eat while he heals up. Lots of vibes for both of you!!!

What a relief! And what a scare for you and Bugsy not eating. So happy to hear he is on the road to recovery from that dental. Poor Baby

Just got home a little while ago from several days away from the Internet. So, I'm just seeing this now.

Poor Bugsy, and poor Carolina! You've both been through so much. Both of you deserve a break.

I'll be praying and sending vibes to both of you, for that - that very soon things settle down and Bugsy can have some peace and be free of pain and discomfort, and that Carolina will be free from the worry over him all the time, and all the nursing.

Thank you Robin,
I actually took Lucky to the clinic to get her microchiped, and got to find out more details of what happened to Bugsy yesterday... It turns out both his molars were abscessed, adding to the complications he had...
I was told that being off his dental medications probably helped to worsen the situation in his mouth.
I am glad those teeth are off... I think after he is through this post op, he will feel a whole lot better - the poor thing must been in pain for a while - I was told it could been over a month or even two

Carolina I'm so sorry I didn't see this until now. I hope Bugsy is well on the road to recovery by now, 5 days later.

By the way, if I had read this on the day, I might have offered the suggestion that you ask the vet aobut giving him sub q fluids for a couple of days, but then I read that he had started to eat.

Boy he's going to be feeling LOTS better once he's all healed up with those rotten teeth gone.

to you both.

Hi Carolina,

I just read this post. I am so glad Bugsy is doing well and thank you for the post. Darci is going in for an extraction in ten days so it is good to know what to expect.

It may not be pretty but I know they will both come out the other side feeling better.

Prayers for both of you - I suspect I am as stressed out as Darci is so I am sure you are feeling stress too.
