well i just got home with speedy. he's still pretty groggy, but is starting to wake up. they redid his blood work, and it seems that his test in january was possibly accidentally switched (haha, switched blood tests, like in a soap opera!) and that his kidneys aren't as bad off as once thought. everything looks really good, except his white blood count is high, because of the infection from the bad teeth. the only teeth they had to pull were his two canines, i call them his FANGS!! both were pretty gross, and came out easily, and there's a few icky looking ones in back, but dr. hicks said those would reabsorb into the gums. yes, you heard me right, reabsorb. apparently in cats, the teeth break down, kind of chip away, until there's nothing there, and they go back into the gum.i did not know this! learn something new every day, LOL! anyhow, he's kinda drunk right now, he's still in his pet carrier. he has some antibiotics to take, but i am hoping he has a full recovery. the vet says he will. thanks peeps for the good thoughts for my buddy. :)
