Raven balance/ curving-improving update post 26

Raven is scheduled for a dental Tuesday morning. Although we scheduled it when he had his last dental, he has been eating less so I expect the points on his molars are bothering him even though he gets daily pain meds.
Please send vibes that he does well with GA and recovery.

Sending loads of vibes for Raven. I hope he's soon home again and recovering well.
 
Thank you friends. Raven’s dental went well. As always he had several points on his molars. The points on his uppers grow sideways and the left side upper was irritating his cheek. He actually wears the uppers to the gum line, so the vet has to work next to his gum to smooth it. His lowers get points going straight up, though none of them, nor the right upper caused any tissue damage. Vet says he was passing decent poo after his ga. He is nibbling some greens and it may take a couple days for Raven to heal. Vet asked me to call and let them know how he is doing.
Raven was moulting and was being groomed daily. However he was not as tolerant to having his tummy and lower areas groomed so I asked the vet if they could do it while he was still sleepy. Vet was surprised how much loose fur came out of my little Raven and I was too. He also got a complimentary nail trim. He was looking around and checking things out at vet today. He is a very brave boy.
He is home, slowly eating his greens. He has pain meds and I also got more recovery food and fluids.
 
Thank you for the vibes. He got more active yesterday night. He quickly ate is greens and got more to eat overnight. He also ate a little hay.
 
Sorry I missed this. He does have a lot of dentals doesn't he. Its sounds like he is doing brilliantly this time, keep it up Raven
 
Thank you J&B, IM, Petsmum, KGC.
On Wednesday night it appeared Raven tripped and fell over as he was getting out of his litter box. He seemed ok, yet as I was ssyringe feeding him, he seemed slightly curved to the right. Later he was washing, drinking, enjoying his greens.
Thursday evening, after he got meds, I noticed he looked like he was curving more. He had head tilt a couple times in the past from ear infection, yet this looks different. His head is level, there are no eye movements yet, and he looks like he is turning to walk to the right. The vet was off today, and is on vacation next week; though he will be working a few hours tomorrow morning, though no openings in the schedule. I have him on same abx he got for his ear infection in the past and his usual pist dental dose of medicam.
Please send vibes I can speak with vet or get Raven seen when I call in the morning.
 
Oh no, sorry to hear this. EC is another possibility. I really hope that a Vet will actually see him tomorrow as they should know how important it is to get a definitive diagnosis so the correct treatment can be given ASAP. Or at least if a definitive diagnosis is not possible treatment to cover both otitis media and EC if his symptoms are vestibular and not due to a muscular skeletal problem. Sending lots of vibes x
