The only important info I found so far,, is that a product called
"Iso"
really Isoflurane, a gas, is the superior anesthetic...they don't come
out
as groggy for a day, and it can be stopped as needed...it is more
expensive
because they can't re-use the 'tank?' even though not emptied. I'm
gonna
ask for it...

I have no experience with this but violette will be getting her
teeth
cleaned at the same time as the growth removed, I am very concerned
about
the "going under" as the human doctor almost did me in with it once,
I
am
sure these guys are already praying for you and Dyna, soft, who so
understands your concern

Sorry for not posting in cat chat...
I'm too upset to play....

Took Dyna to vet today for rabies shot.
He looked in her mouth and found a tooth with a problem.
Said that it wasn't a cavity, but rather "calcium erosion"
was just above where the gum would usually be, which
had the gum growing into it, affording some temporary protection.
He showed me that when he barely touched it, she winced,
indicating that it did pain her.

On next Monday morning we set up to take her in for 1) a cleaning,
2)x-rays, like to see if there were others
3)extracting this big, sharp,long back tooth)
He indicated major surgery to remove this tooth,
because it has 3 roots, and he would have to go in,
take crown off, and extract each root, then clean out the jaw
bone.
4) And there may be others too, which he'll do at the same time,
if
necessary.
So she will be under anesthetic for some time...I'm so worried!

In the meantime I have a 200mg antibiotic pill to give her twice
daily.It is just barely short of half an inch in diameter.
Powdering it isn't working, not even in her favorite foods.

Anyone have experience with extractions due to 'enamel erosion'?
He said about half the cats get it.

TIA for sny experience and information you all may offer.

Purrs also accepted, especially on Monday Morning.

Sorry Sylvia, I don't have any advice. So far (knocking on wood), only
Puddi has even had to have her teeth cleaned (twice in 12 years). Punkins
(also 12)teeth are pristine. Lots of positive thoughts through the ether
for Dyna and of course for your nerves.

Fran and the purring girls

Thanks...at least they won't be giving her "ether"!
