Dental Extractions On A 14 Year Old Hyperthyroid Domestic Shorthaired Cat With Heart Murmur

Tell Your Story:

Gov Jordan is here for dental extractions. He has dental disease grade 3 and is missing complete upper arcade. He also presents with a heart murmur.

He arrived in the morning and a technician went over the check-in sheet and then answered any questions the owner had. Gov Jordan was then taken to the treatment area where a technician placed a catheter.

Dental radiographs were taken and there were multiple roots left behind from prior dental. After communicating with the owner, they agreed not to remove them as they were not problematic. 409 and 309 were extracted and sutured with 5-0 Monocryl.

Gov Jordan’s teeth were then scaled and polished. He will need to eat soft food only for 14 days. He is expected to make a full recovery.

Wow Sarah, that’s brave of your vet AND the owner, must have been nerve-wracking to assist in that operation!

Tell us about this battling bruiser “winking” at the camera 🙂

How is he coping since the dental work?
