Honey has been kept in for a dental because there seems to be something wrong with one of her back teeth. She’s getting X-rays and her bladder checked while she is there. Unfortunately she’s lost more weight, although she eats all her food. She hasn’t been too good with her hay lately so I don’t know if that has caused the loss.

The vet has just phoned. Honey is through the dental and just coming round. The vet had to remove one of the back teeth (I forgot why 
) and there was a lot of infection and ulceration around it. The scan on her bladder was clear.
I’ll get more details on what exactly was happening when I collect her later.

I’m glad her bladder was clear. I hope she recovers well now the tooth has been removed, I imagine it is very painful with the infection and ulceration
hopefully she will be given painkiller and antibiotics to get her comfortable. Perhaps that’s why she has lost weight, if it’s been sore but they hide it so well. Topping up the vibes xx
Sending lots from me too.

Oh poor girlie
I hope that she will recover well from the GA and that the Vet will provide good ongoing analgesic cover for her as well as abx for the infection xx

She’s home! Very quiet so far but she’s not long back. The tooth was removed because it was loose. It had also been rubbing on her cheek for some time causing the cheek to thicken. There were some ulcers too but no infection. The vet is going to get in touch with D1ck vet to update them and send them copies of the X-rays.
The X-rays also showed that some of the tooth roots were perhaps a bit elongated and that there is still a problem with Honey’s lungs.
We go back in 2 weeks, unless she isn’t eating or I’m concerned about her. She has her usual metacam, tramadol, gabapentin and ranitidine as well as emeprid.

I hope she will recover overnight and that she'll be a lot brighter tomorrow. It sounds as though she has a lot to cope with at the moment xx

Me and the buns are sending you and Honey lots of positive vibes. It was good to hear she did fine with the anesthesia and they were able to check her out while she was under. I suspect she will do much better with her weight and eating once she has a little time to recover from having that nasty tooth removed.
