Feline Oral Resorptive Lesion

Just a quick update on Nutmeg.  The problem with his teeth is called FORL, and it is in only its earliest stage.  Only two symmetric molars are currently affected.  But getting his teeth extracted might be a bit complicated.

You see, we had a bit of a scare last Friday.  Our cats were pretty loopy, Thursday, when they got back from the vet.  Aspen kept trying to walk around, but with all the anesthesia, he looked like a town drunk stumbling home at 3am.  Nutmeg was more than happy to just curl up in a ball for four hours, after which he woke up and started acting more normal.  The next morning, though, we found him looking very ill and he kept vomiting, and eventually dry-heaving.  He was very tired, and was experiencing some diarrhea and dehydration. 

This coupled with the fact that his blood test came back showing alkaline levels off the charts made me worry that he couldn't handle the anesthesia he was given.  He eventually got better (after a lot more sleep), but I'm worried that sending him in for tooth extraction and putting him under anesthesia again would do more harm than good.

I guess we'll take that as it comes.

I'm a bit sad right now.  I just found out that my cat, Nutmeg, has some sort of mouth condition, and he needs to have two teeth extracted.  I don't know all the details, or even why this happened (he's only three, after all).  I'm planning to get a second vet's opinion before sending him in, though.

Sigh...

In other news, Kris got a free iPod mini, and it's really cool.  All she did was sign up for some credit cards online.

Now I want one too.

If you want to help me out, just go to the following link and sign in.  Then, just check your email and confirm your email address.  After that, you sign up for one offer (I recommend a credit card, since those are completely free).  Also, if you can get 5 others to do the same, you get a free iPod too!

Thanks all,
