DISCHARGE INSTRUCTIONS

Date: 03/27/2025

Procedure Chessie presented for a professional dental cleaning and oral assessment, treatment, and plan (ATP).

Post-anesthesia Care Because Chessie had general anesthesia today, she may be sleepy for the remainder of the day. Please take special care to protect her from falling down stairs, running into things, and exposure to hot or cold weather.

Oral Surgery Chessie had one tooth extracted today—her lower left molar (309). This tooth was removed due to tooth resorption. There is a small tip of the tooth remaining in the bone of the mandible that could not be removed, but we do not anticipate this causing any issues since it is already resorting. It is normal to see blood-tinged saliva for the next few days. You may also notice some blood-tinged drool when Chessie is resting, which is completely normal.

Nutrition Please feed half of Chessie's usual intake tonight. Transient GI upset can occur after general anesthesia, and it is not uncommon for patients to go a few days without a bowel movement after surgery. Please let us know if she is straining to defecate.

Because Chessie had oral surgery today, her diet should be adjusted during the healing period. Please feed a canned diet for at least the next 14 days while the tissues heal. Ideally, she will eat a canned diet until her recheck visit.

Exercise Please restrict Chessies activity for the next 1-2 days while she recovers from anesthesia. She may then resume normal activity.

Pain Relief Chessie received a long-acting pain relief injection (Simbadol) that can last up to 72 hours. Due to this medication, she might seem unusually affectionate and extra smoochy. In rare cases, some cats may exhibit aggressive behavior. If you notice any concerning changes in her behavior, please contact us immediately.

Medication to Go Home 1) Onsior: Give 1 tablet by mouth every 24 hours for the next 3 days. Give with food. START TOMORROW EVENING. This is an anti-inflammatory medication.

Follow-up Please schedule an appointment for a nurse visit for an oral examination in 14 days.

Thank you for entrusting the Small Door team with Chessies care. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
