I hope everything will go well today for Raven, and that his recovery won't be very long this time. Sending him a lot of vibes.

Raven did well. He is sensitive to sedatin so he only gets gas anesthesia. He was eating carrot greens soon after his dental.
Vet said there was no question Raven needed a dental. As in the past, the points on his uppers molars are needle thin and the grow toward his cheek, while the lower points are not as thin and grow more upward on tongue side.
Vet thinks Raven sometimes breaks off the needle thin points on his uppers then returns to eating better like he did this week. Of course vet makes them very smooth and addresses Raven's lower molars too.
He got a few more carrot greens and dandelion greens when he got home and ate them. I just gave him a few more greens. He picked out the carrot greens and ate them right away. Now he has his dandelion greens.
Both organic carrots and dandelion greens are hard to find. Only one small store has the dandelion greens and I am still not able to drive since my knee replacement in early December, so my sister d
gets Raven's dandelions. My spouse was lucky to find a couple bunches of carrots with greens after months of them being out of stock. I wonder if Raven knows he is high maintenance, and worth it and more!
He nibbled a little hay too.
Raven lost weight when he was not well at the end of December and early January, then he was eating less this week, so I may continue to syringe feed if he does not regain his appetite quickly, so I hope he continues to improve.

I am pleased to hear that Raven is doing well. It’s such a shame that he has the frequently recurring problems with his molar teeth. I hope his input and output will soon be back to normal xx

Thanks Jane,
He made a lot of poo since he came home, and pee too. Poo probably from his eating before his dental. I may syringe feed before going to sleep since he takes it so well.

I'm glad little Raven's dental went well and that he's already been eating some greens and a little hay. I'm sorry the carrot and dandelion greens are so hard to find, though! Sending him a lot of vibes for his recovery. I hope he'll soon eat well enough that he won't lose weight again.

Thank you.
I syringe fed him critical care a couple hours ago. He took it very well. I just gave him more greens. He immediately ate the little piece of carrot top mixed with the dandelion greens. He is a few feet from the bed, and I can hear him eating.
Well done Raven. X

Thank you. Who else do you know who buys bunch carrots for their greens? If we can find them, we will be eating carrots with every meal if Raven gets his way!
