Totally himself after being home 2 hours after having every tooth in the upper part of his mouth yanked. . No sign of distress at all. Awaiting biopsy results, and will probably throw the big bux at this at Tufts or Angel Memorial if I have to, as long as he's not in discomfort.

Not good news. What I just sent my sister: "They pulled that canine out like it was in wet cement. Then he found the rest of the teeth on that side were the same, and pulled all them too. He said the gums are very spongy, and said it is most likely cancer. He asked me if I wanted to let Floppy wake up from this. I told him yes, because he's acting fine and eating fine at the moment. Then later he said that while he was under, since we were waking him up, he looked at the other side of the mouth to take care of any other dental work while he was under. All the upper teeth on the left side were bad as well, and he pulled them all too. He said that side was soft also, which was weird to him. Cancer would most likely be on one side, not both. So there is a small amount of hope. Waiting for the biopsy. He said there's a thyroid symptom that can cause a huge calcium deficiency. So since all this started when he went on the thyroid and pain meds, I let him wake up. He's doing fine with no upper teeth right now and wolfing down soft food."

Yes, my Morris looked a little grumpy on pics like this, I agree but he was one of the sweetest cats ever. Fortunately he let me help him when his lip slipped behind the canine and he looked well again.

I hope all goes well for dear Floppy and that it's only an abscessed tooth that's causing the increased pressure in his eye. Sending good thoughts your way Mark! Please feel better handsome boy. xxoo
