Sovay is back from the vet

[commodorified]

Having had one tooth and a lot of tartar removed, and one stitch put into her gum. Everything went beautifully.

She is still recovering from the anaesthesia, plus I just gave her .5 ml of buprenorphine, being a firm believer that since cats conceal pain like a bunch of short furry Christian martyrs they get their pain relief for as long as it's prescribed, not just if they seem "off".

When I picked her up she tended to walk in left-handed spirals and was having trouble controlling her feet:



Now that she's had the bup we're pretty much into "Dude. Did you ever, like, REALLY LOOK at your PAW, DUDE?" I mean, her aura, if not her actual self, has those endlessly spiralling psychedelic multi-coloured cartoon eyes going on.

She does not LIKE being given bup, but 5 minutes after I got it into her she went face down in the gushy food she gets for the next three-four days and hasn't really come up for air since.



Admittedly she was fasted from 8 pm last night til three hours ago, and they only gave her a small snack then, but this is impressive.

The fluffy kitten gets wired on anaethetic. He had to get four teeth out a week ago, and rather than being floppy and wobbly and all "have you ever LOOKED at your PAW?" he gets "OH MY GOD I HAVE TO CHASE ALL THE THINGS BEFORE THEY GET AWAY."

I hope Sovay's more restful.
