Raven dental need vibes

Raven is getting his every 4-5 week dental now. He is getting it now. Please give us some vibes.
He lost a little weight since last month, though likely the his slow eating this week.
He was eating his favorite greens and nibbling some hay earlier, so I did not give critical care today. He will get it again after his dental for several days. He is still not underweight for his size, yet he will be if he loses more weight. I already give him a little alfalfa and allow him as many pellets as he wants, which is not many-even when he is between dentals. My others come running and begging as soon as they see the pellets and eat their entire ration in a few minutes!
 
Sending loads of vibes for your lovely Raven. I hope the dental goes to plan and he recovers well.
 
Omi, Zoobec, IM,
Thank you.
He came home and is nibbling a little carrot green and a tiny bit of hay. He will get critical care later.
Vet was booking in Aug when I called Monday, yet vet gave permission to fit him in toward end of day today.
Raven had three needle like points growing toward his cheek on last three upper molars on left, and two needle like points on his last two upper molars on the right. Plus, he had one wider point growing straight back on his last upper right molar.
As usual the points are close to his gum line and he wears his teeth very low.
Vet did say his gut sounds are slow, as they usually are when he eats less, yet no motility meds were given recently.
We scheduled his next dental already.
He will be getting a little more metacam too.
Raven is very brave at the vet.
 
I am glad that he is home. I hope he won’t take too long to recover x
Thank you again.
Today he got a special late afternoon appt, so I got him home sooner than usual. He got Metacam shortly after he got settled. Raven passed pee and poo and is drinking and nibbling a little hay and a few greens. I just gave him Critical Care and he took it well. Then he drank water to wash it down.
So far he has not received fluids or motility meds, yet we have some if they are needed.

Thank you. He is looking brighter and eating his greens mostly. Though he is now bbling hay and a few pellets. I gave him some critical care too.

I was disappointed the store did not have his favorite organic dandelion greens when I went Friday. The greens on the organic carrots looked old (he only gets the greens), so he only has enough of his favorites for the weekend. I need to try other stores.
