Dental and paw Update

No pictures today unfortunately

Winston is resting now after two hours of surgery to remove 3 molars and the cyst on his paw. Good news is the cyst was nothing to worry about and is gone for good. This is great after numerous various vets and test to finally find a vet who knew about the problem with his paw. The surgery of the removal of the molars is a little uncomfortable as he has some small stitches in his gum. The molars roots were rotting and had to be removed completely. Pain meds and antibiotics for the next 7 days and a wrapped up paw that must stay dry in this west coast wet weather! He is very sleepy from the meds but in a few days he should be up and more active. Good news is..... there is no loss of appetite! What a surprise!! LOL

  4. Oh Winston, I had no idea you were going under the knife. Well, enjoy those pain meds, and get all tha pampering you can get. Probably you should get nice soft homemade hand fed meals. That's just my opinion.

  5. We're so glad to here Winston is doing wells and that cyst was nothing but silly old thing.

    We're sorry he had to lose some molars, but at least they can't bother him anymore or cause any problems.

    Feel better soon Winston!

  6. Oh no, poor Winston!

    I feel your pain! I had a fractured molar removed & sutures too. Only canned food and NO toys, even soft ones were out. Mom thinks I fractured the tooth on an ice chip. So those are out. At the same time, I had the extra toe that I grew removed (Yes, an extra stupid toe grew). It looked like I was wearing a boxing glove.

    Speedy recovery to you my friend. Sending positive thoughts and vibes your way.

    Hugs,
    Suki
