Bandit (UK) and Snowball at TEDs - UPDATE
Not too good
Snowball lost 3 teeth. It's small consolation to know that he would probably even have lost them on an annual (instead of 2-year) cleaning cycle as he has the longhaired cats' apparent genetic vulnerability to poor tooth quality. TEDs round here make most of their income from dental work on Ragdolls, Birmans, Persians & other pedigree longhairs. Bandit's tear ducts were impossible to flush, so it's off to a specialist next week. In the meantime he's in an Elizabethan collar to stop him opening the sebaceous cyst operation scar & tearing out the suture - like many of us he'd rather have pain than itching. So he's immensely sorry for himself and handling the collar with the utmost clumsiness. At least his dental went fine: no removals at all. Worst of all, though, is that Claudius doesn't recognise him as Stepdad Bandit. Surprisingly for such a clever cat he thinks I've brought home a stranger. Combination of the TED smell and the collar I suppose since Snowball's been recognised fine. While at TEDs B & S shared a big d-thing kennel both before and after their ops. and snuggled up together throughout their ordeal for comfort/companionship. So taking them as a pair worked well, thank goodness. At least I did something right. Now to work out where to acquire the roughly USD 800 it's cost so far & still counting with the specialist to come More and harder purrs if you would, the magic hasn't gotten here yet. Now off to separate C and B who are having a hostile "wail in each other's face" contest.

Budget purrs coming your way. I'm glad that they have both come through the anasthesia with no problems, though. I've been very reluctant to get dental work for my cats, for the same reason. Joyce |

Silver's had a blocked tearduct all her life... the vet tried to flush it when she was spayed but it didn't work and he said it didn't matter. It really doesn't seem to bother her at all, except when it gets watery she likes having that side of her face rubbed (I think it gets a bit itchy sometimes...) and occasionally it gets goopy and I have to wipe her face gently with a damp cloth to clean it up (she hates that but lets me do it...) |

Same thing - the vet tried to flush her tearduct when she was a kitten, but it didn't work. She's had a runny eye ever since. (BTW, this is not the eye that just had the big infection recently.) So now this pinkish stuff just runs down along her nose on that side. When she and Smudge were really good buddies, Smudge kept it clean a lot of the time. But they don't get along so well, now - I guess Roxy has decided that Licky is "cool", and the "cool" thing to do is annoy Smudge, so no more grooming from Smudge. Roxy and Licky get along OK, they play together a lot, but I don't see them grooming each other. So now her eye is always draining down her face. She really doesn't want me cleaning it, so I don't. I don't think it hurts her, so I just leave it alone. Joyce |

Yes, that is what I did with Rosie. Washed her face for her so the spill over tears wouldn't irritate her face and she did like having that part of her face rubbed. Jo |
