Hello all,
Does anyone have any experience with their cat-baby having pain post dental surgery up to 2 weeks after the surgery? My little guy had a tooth fall out (of course he hid his pain so well that I had no idea his teeth were that bad!). So, I then had a dental cleaning and he had two teeth extracted. I no longer trust my vet because he was at the vet six months prior and the vet looked in his mouth and didn't mention that he should have a dental cleaning, just that we should "keep an eye on it." I would have been more proactive if I knew it was so urgent! Now, the vet sent us home after the surgery with a round of antibiotics but didn't say anything about how he should be feeling, brining him back for a checkup, or anything that could possibly go wrong.
I've got an appointment with a new vet for next week, but my little guy just seems like he's still uncomfortable. Is this normal? Of course, if anything gets worse I'll bring him to my old vet sooner or the emergency clinic, but I just want to make sure a little mouth discomfort isn't unheard of post teeth extraction.
Any advice SO welcome. Thank you
