Cat Prognosis

Didn't post an update until today because we were waiting to hear from Dr. Bob, who had another consultation on Savannah.

The right side of her jaw is healing nicely, the left side is not as good. Her jaw is a little bit dislocated on that side and it may be causing her some discomfort, and the break there is not healing as cleanly as the break on the right. She's also got some kind of cyst on the left side of her jaw, that they think may be an infected/swollen salivary gland. There's a tooth back by the gland that's in the wrong place and pointing the wrong way, too.

The cyst and tooth they should be able to remove, probably after the bolts come out. They want to leave the bolts in for another 3-4 weeks, to give the left side some more time to heal. More info as we get it. I guess we can deal with tube-feeding her for another month...

They were very happy with her progress, overall, and everyone commented on what a sweet cat she is, and that she was very active and aware - all good things.
