🖤 Send happy thoughts - Surgery
My lil void is getting his teeth removed tomorrow. He's sleeping at the vet tonight, it's my second night without him since I've adopted him.
I'm pretty anxious about the surgery, but he's apparently in a lot of pain from a mouth infection (he's a rescue and was seriously sick when I got him).
Send love his way, he'll need all he can get!

Totally normal just be cool and vibe out 🤓, I would make sure you have a little system in place for when homie gets home and try to make comfortable places to hide or feel safe in low areas to avoid climbing and falling. Watch your favorite movies and listen to your favorite music if cat mamas happy lil homies happy. Good luck and keep us updated! You got this 🤝

I'm coming in late but this seems like a good time to ask about an update. When you have a moment, how's the little man doing?

He just got back! He has two canines left (right top and bottom) and three bottom teeth in the front next to the canine. He got 23 teeth removed and was already missing 2. He's happy to be back and asking for pets and loving ~ We'll see in a few days!

My 11 year old baby had surgery to take out one eye just two weeks ago so I totally understand how you feel! Everything is going to be alright! I wish for you two to have a speedy recovery!

Wishing you both an uneventful and speedy recovery, my boy Whisper has no teeth. So feel free to DM me any questions about the recovery process or what to expect if that’ll help.

u/rottingcarrott 1d ago
That's really kind!! I won't hesitate if I have any questions ~ 🙏💕 Love the toothless yawn 🥹

my void luci has had two dental extractions over the years, one last month and she only has her two bottom fangs left and honestly, she's so much better! her personality came out SO much more after the first one with like 9 teeth out, and she can still eat dry food like normal (once she healed, of course). i know how nerve-wracking it is though, sending hugs!! ❤️🩹

u/rottingcarrott 1d ago
That's nice to hear!! Hopefully he'll also feel more at ease now that he's had almost all his teeth removed ❤️🩹 Thanks for the hugs 🥹

u/rottingcarrott 1d ago
Thank you! Your message really reassured me! He just got back home, hopefully it's all smooth sailing after the recovery! ✨

u/velvet_wavess 1d ago
Glad it went well! Mine got all of them removed except the canines and he's totally fine now, it doesn't stop him eating a lot and being a lovable menace! 😁 Wishing for a speedy recovery!! ☺️🖤

You are doing the best thing for him!

u/rottingcarrott 1d ago
Thank you! I know I am, but it's still so hard to accept that he'll only have 5 teeth left and he's only about 1 years old 😭 🙏
2
u/Royalchariot 1d ago
It’s okay, if he’s in terrible pain and needs medical attention then you gotta do it

u/ToureBanYahudah 2d ago
He or she seems very polite. A well mannered friend.

u/rottingcarrott 1d ago
Yes! He's very cuddly and kind! He can be a little rascal with his toys early in the morning, but he's learning our routine every day a little more ✨ 🥰

u/Melodic-Yoghurt7193 2d ago
Omg his eyes in the second pic. I’d be wrapped around his finger. Get well soon bud

u/rottingcarrott 1d ago
Yes!! He's such a lil baby, I can't with his eyes 😭 💕 Thanks for the kind words!

u/TIRedemptionIT 2d ago
I have had two of my cats do this and they both took it well. They need a little pain medication and soft food but otherwise no biggie.
1
u/rottingcarrott 1d ago
Thank you! That's really reassuring! He was already eating soft food because of the pain, so no big change on that side ~ 😊

This little cuddle bug will be just fine!

u/rottingcarrott 1d ago
Thanks! 😭 He just got home and has been cuddling up since 💕

u/justanormalchat 1d ago
Poor thing he just needs some love to recover 😊. I remember when my calico came back from the hospital and she just wanted to snuggles as she recovered.

u/RaketaGirl 2d ago
AWWW you’re going to get the cutest toothless-ish bleps and lip curls now tho!
Speedy recovery to your cute little sprite!!

My cat had surgery and was at the vet for 9 days. Longest 9 days of my life but let me tell you, that reunion 🥹. We both screamed when we saw each other. Wishing y'all a healthy journey.

u/rottingcarrott 1d ago
Thank you! He purrs back, he's home now and is doing well so far 💕

u/Dazzling_Hunt_5630 1d ago
That’s such good news. Give him little scratchies for me
My little void had one pulled when I adopted her and looks like she might need more done too.

Sending healing energy to your void. Mouth pain is horrible and cats will stop eating rather than deal with the pain. I hope he's feeling better after the surgery. *hugs*

He’s so darling, how old is he?

u/rottingcarrott 1d ago
The vet said he's around 1 yo! Still a young lil fella, but he's already roleplaying a lil toothless grandpa kitty 💕 ✨
