Kitty has a toothache

Tweet

Hi My Lot, So, as you know it seems like life just keeps happening around here and there is always something going on. Not a complaint , just is what it is. In the meantime poor kitty had been loosing weight, loosing weight. At first I didn't notice it much because she was a large cat, 20 lbs. or so. And then, when I did notice, I didn't think much of it, because I thought it was probably alright she loose a little weight anyway. Then she started getting pretty thin, so I switched cat food to ones with more calories. But it didn't seem to help. Finally - a few days ago I noticed that poor kitty seemed weak and listless and was skin and bones. And... I admit, I thought the worst. With cats we've had in the past unexplained, rapid weight loss is usually not great. Well, we - meaning mom and I - took her to the vet yesterday and I was really prepared to hear the worst. I didn't expect to bring her back home, that's how bad I thought it was. I thought they'd have us put her down. I'd like to stop right here - and say how thankful I'm because my dad is still out of the house. This whole process would have been a million times harder with him. Well, we are still waiting on the result of lab work, but as it turns out - seems kitty has some bad teeth, and the drastic weight loss is because of teeth. Thank goodness something fixable. For now she has some pain medicine that makes her loopy and she has been eating constantly the high calorie food the vet gave us, which makes me happy. Photo: Mine of Kiki
