Timmy - Teeth Scaling, Update

So Timmy had his scaling done. I received a phonecall from the vet who said that it was the worst case she had seen. She had extracted all of his teeth because they were rotten, there were so many ulcers... She could not understand how notwithstanding all the pain, he was still purring...

I went to see him immediately. He was still dazed from the anaesthetic....But I cannot bring him home yet. His mouth is still bloody and the effect of the anaesthetic is just wearing off...

The preliminary tests were good - he has no virus nor anaemia. His kidneys and lungs seem to be working fine. The vet has taken blood and culture samples of his mouth for further testing...

He still weighs only 3.9 kg... well, after this, he should be able to eat better...
