Title: Ricky had dental surgery today
Post by: Jiskefet on August 31, 2011, 21:04:36 PM

Ricky had 4 teeth removed today. His gums were quite inflamed, and he had trouble eating.
The poor mite has been in the OR for 3 hours, and cannot have food till tomorrow morning.

I expect Ricky is feeling rather sorry for himself at the moment so will send him some gentle hugs  :hug: :hug:

He feels VERY sorry for himself.
He keeps trying to stick his paw in his mouth to pull the stitches out. Fortunately his paw is too big.
