Re: Can Kiki have a minor operation purr?

Poor Kiki is in the vets right now awaiting a little surgery.

When she came to see me in bed this morning, she seemed her usual
self, but she wasn't closing her mouth all the way. I took a peek and
one of her top fangs was destroyed. The tip had gone and the remaining
fang was split up the middle all the way into the gum. It looked
agonising, and if that had been my tooth I would have been screaming -
but Kiki is much braver than I am.

I found the tip of the tooth in the middle of the bedroom floor. Looks
like she took a leap from the wardrobe and landed on her nose, silly
girl.

We went to our usual excellent vets (Kiki sang all the way in her
carrier, to the irritation of the taxi driver). Dr Kurt's opinion was
that extraction was the only answer, as the tooth was too smashed to
be fixed. So Kiki had a shot of local anaesthetic to control the pain
until this evening, when they will operate.

With luck, I can pick her up tonight and take her home. I hope she
doesn't have to overnight with the vet, because she's not going to
like that at all, clingy little thing that she is.

Please purr for an uneventful extraction and quick recovery for
Kiki... I already told her about all the splendid RPCA cats with
missing fangs, so she knows she's in good company.

Thanks
Al.

Poor baby! Lots of purrs on the way.
