I can't wait to get Boo's mouth fixed.
This morning he was grumpier than usual. I gave him his pain meds and his fluids and waited to feed him. He completely refused to eat the Hi Tor on his own, even right out of the can. So I assist fed him about 6-7mL worth of pureed Hi Tor in warm water and left him alone after giving him his antibiotic (poor baby)
I went to run errands and found a great deal on Friskies can food, 10 for 4.60, so I got ten cans, for the outside cats. Chickster does not eat wet, whatsoever, and I didn't consider Boo eating it. Well, I got home and he is still grumpy, so I said what the heck, he's got to eat something and I can't "assist feed" (I keep wanting to say force feed) him but so much before he gets really stressed.
I put 1/3 of a can of Lamb and Rice Friskies on a plate and brought it to him. At first I felt bad, then I felt even worse when he ATE THAT SUCKER UP! He ate mostly all the gravy but got a few big pieces of meat. He's just catapulted himself onto my desk (Geez he scares me doing that! That pain med makes him loopy!) and found the plate again and is chowing down. I will let him, because he has got to have something more than mL's of food. He won't touch Purina and he won't even touch his Temptations now. But he's eating this just fine, and not wincing nearly at all over it. Odd.
He has had some kind of drainage from the extraction site because he had a teeny tiny pink spot of blood on his cheek, like blood mixed with some type of fluids. There are no scratches on him anywhere. He was swallowing a lot two days ago but that has stopped.
Hoping the antibiotics keep kicking butt in there. Wow he's really chowing down guys. Making a full on mess of it too. Gotta help him keep it on the plate. Thank you all! <3 <3
