I did try to soak the food in some warm water but it didn't go over so well. After about half an hour of soaking it was still fairly hard and didn't break apart very easily. I feed Nature's Variety Instinct chicken meal formula for dry cat food, so I'm not sure if that doesn't absorb water well or what.
The swelling went down quite a bit in Sadie's mouth! It's still pretty swollen, but is definitely much improved over what I saw early yesterday morning where it went all the way up the side of her jaw and started to wrap around the front of her tongue. It's now more targeted towards the area where the surgery took place. Hopefully this means I won't have to take her into the vet this week.
I bought a few new cans of Merrick and got a few of the old flavours I know Sadie liked before (I'm having such a hard time finding all of the flavours from them, they were everywhere a few months ago!) and I guess I just didn't have the minced varieties before now? They're much smoother than the other chunky varieties they have, without being full pates. Sadie shows some interest and can eat probably 1/4 of a can before giving up instead of a couple of bites! Still not a huge amount at one time, but anything's better than not eating at all.
I just want this whole blocked salivary gland nightmare to be over! This surgery better work after all of this misery.
