Tessa's back!

[vilakins]

Tessa's home, curled up an a chair next to Claudia. :-) They removed an abscessed tooth and the one next to it which was infected too. Poor little thing; if she was in pain, we never knew it. They said she came out of the anaesthetic really well. Apparently they use a really up-to-date human one which has a shorter 'out' time and quick recovery.

I could hear Tessa calling to me from the back of the clinic as I was paying and getting her medication, and she purred all the way home in the car, the darling. She's just eaten a meal of soft food mashed up with water with apparent pleasure, and had a dose of pain-killer to chase it and she seems pretty much her usual self.

I'm so relieved, and happy that she'll be feeling better than she must have been for the last few weeks.

Thanks to everyone who wished us both well.

Aww, glad to hear she's better!

And she does sound like she recovered from the anesthesia really well. Poor Nova was really out of it for hours. He'd stumble around drunkenly, then apparently compeltely forget where he was going. :)

Awww, poor Nova! Tessa and Claudia were like that--all drunken and dopey--when they were neutered as kittens. I'm impressed with how anaesthetics have improved recently; she's really quite normal.

I felt bad laughing at the poor thing, but it actually was funny.

And I'm gonna have to take Vir in for that lil' operation in a few months. I'm not looking forward to it...

Awww. At least it's much more minor for males, though they do walk like John Wayne afterwards. And yeah, I laugh too.
