Hi, so our kitty Mica is almost 17 years old. She is doing well at the moment and is on various medications to help her appetite and health (cyproheptadine, cerenia, pred and subq fluids, her ultrasound showed signs of pancreatitis).
At her last checkup she has a sore spot on her gum. I do not think the tooth is infected. The vet did not say anything about having the tooth pulled at the time. However I called and asked the question several days later and asked what they recommend. They recommended pulling the tooth.
I am nervous about getting her tooth pulled, partly because of her age but I am also concerned she may stop eating if the extraction causes pain. I wish I had never followed up and asked the question now!
Just wondering what other people's thoughts and/or experiences are. Any information would be much appreciated, maybe I am worrying about nothing!
