Those pain meds sound like triple dose of catnip![emoji]128515[/emoji]
I'm so pleased artie is doing so well.Thanks for asking. The meds wore off completely, late Wednesday. I was shutting the lights off and all of a sudden, Artie had the zoomies! He ran a mile a minute all over the place, jumping over things, jumping on the top of his cat tree! He was comical! He wanted me to chase him! I went to bed. I did not want to overdo things.
Artie ate good when he came home from the Vet: 1.5 cans that night. He ate really good Wednesday(3.5cans) and Thursday, 3 small cans. I am hoping that keeps up. He had one can during the night and 1/2 can this morning. I am hoping I can get him to eat some more soon. He is now curled up on my bed.
He was a cuddly cat the past couple of nights. He jumped on my lap while I was watching TV; and allowed me to hold him for up to a half hour at a time, while purring...yes, it was the meds...
He has woken me up the past 2 mornings, just by jumping on my bed and cuddling--no meowing..
He is not grooming as much as he usually does. I am thinking his mouth and perhaps tongue are too sore.
Time will tell if this works out...
Artie is sick of me coming after him with meds...He gets his regular meds plus clavamox twice a day-with food. That is 6 times a day...poor thing. some are empty stomach, one is with food, another anytime.
The antibiotic is only until Monday.
I re-started brushing him yesterday-just a bit. I am using the softer slicker brush and being very gentle. He loves it, up to a certain point--purring, rubbing against it..yes, but I keep his mouth away from the brush.
You would think that after having 2 teeth extracted, he would be drooling...But No! There is no drooling at all from him!
Thanks again..
