[Felvtalk] [OT] two sick cats

[Lance]

The cats went in this morning. Sidney’s drooling and inappetence were almost certainly related to dental issues. His teeth were cleaned, and some teeth were pulled. Since he was under, they gave him nutrients. 

I’m a little concerned that they sent Metacam for Sidney. I would prefer my parents didn’t give that to any of their animals. It might not cause a problem, but if it does, it’s an understatement to call it serious.

Callie was hydrated, and they did some testing. I don’t know the details since I wasn’t there. Her situation is more uncertain.  The vet thinks she might be dealing with feline calicivirus, but it’s also possible that she has an autoimmune condition. They’ve put her on Carafate (Sucralfate) every six hours to help treat the ulcers.
