Hello there! I completely understand your worries—it's normal to feel anxious when our furry friends are facing surgery. Dental procedures for cats are quite common and often necessary for their overall health, especially if there are issues like gum disease or tooth decay.
Before the procedure, it's important that your cat fasts, usually overnight, but follow the specific instructions your vet provided. This helps reduce the risk of vomiting during anesthesia.
After the surgery, your kitty may feel a bit groggy and might have a reduced appetite for a day or two. You can help by offering soft foods, like wet cat food, and making sure fresh water is always available. Keep your cat in a quiet, comfortable space while they recover.
Be on the lookout for signs that might need immediate attention, like excessive bleeding, swelling, or refusal to eat for more than 24 hours, as well as any unusual changes in behavior.
It's great that you're being proactive about your cat's health. If you have any lingering questions or need some extra reassurance, booking a video consult with one of our vets on Dial A Vet could give you peace of mind. We're here to help guide you every step of the way.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
