I have a feral female cat that has moved in. Last tuesday she was spayed. That night I noticed that she was licking her lips a lot. She also had swelling at her incision site. I took her to a different Vet, that's closer, and he said it wasn't a hernia but infection or reaction to the stitches. She is on amoxicillin now. The Vet also checked her mouth. Her upper right canine tooth is broken off at the gum line. (I don't remember her licking like this before the surgery). The Vet said to watch that she eats well and look for swelling. He said that the tooth would probably reabsorb.
I am concerned that she is hurting or will get infection. Problem is I called a Vet clinic that does a lot of cat teeth. They quoted me $300, I can't afford that for my own teeth. I really dont want her to hurt though. Has anyone else had experience with this?
