(ESP/ENG) Visita al veterinario urgente por la pérdida repentina de dos colmillos de mi gato / Urgent vet visit for the sudden loss of two fangs of my cat 😿😭🦷


¡Hola a todos! Ayer fue un día terrible para mí como amante de gatos, ya todo pasó pero hasta ésta mañana me sentía demasiado triste. Tengo un gato negro, una hermosa pantera llamada Ikki, he subido sus visitas al veterinario en ésta comunidad, relatando como va su caso con la criptorquidia bilateral. Todas sus visitas han sido programadas, sin ninguna emergencia por delante, por lo que nunca esperé tener que ir corriendo al veterinario por un tema completamente distinto a su cuadro clínico. Les cuento cómo pasó todo:


Hi all! Yesterday was a terrible day for me as a cat lover, everything happened but until this morning I felt too sad. I have a black cat, a beautiful panther named Ikki, I have uploaded her visits to the vet in this community, relating how her case with bilateral cryptorchidism is going. All his visits have been scheduled, with no emergencies ahead, so I never expected to have to run to the vet for a completely different issue than his clinical picture. I tell you how it all happened:

Resulta que hace una semana Ikki de pronto tuvo fiebre, se puso decaído, tanto hasta el punto de no querer comer ni beber agua. Como el clima estaba muy frío y en varias de sus visitas al jardín, había lloviznado (yo secándolo inmediatamente al verlo entrar), supuse que su malestar se debía a una gripe felina. Como no lo quería molestar, no lo revisaba más que para comprobar su temperatura, lo dejaba descansar, le daba comida húmeda y le daba agua con jeringa. Por ratos mejoraba y de nuevo caía con quebranto. Esperaba antes de llevarlo al veterinario porque acababa de llevarlo hace poco y me estaba recuperando del golpe económico como quien dice, aparte que ya había tenido experiencia con el gato de mi hermana, quién ha tenido gripe y se ha curado perfectamente. Pero había algo que no me cuadraba: En ningún momento había visto que Ikki estornudara. Y ese, era un síntoma muy notorio en el gato de mi hermana cuando se enfermaba de gripe.


It turns out that a week ago Ikki suddenly had a fever, he became depressed, to the point of not wanting to eat or drink water. As the weather was very cold and in several of his visits to the garden, it had drizzled (I immediately dried him when I saw him enter), I assumed that his discomfort was due to a cat flu. As she did not want to disturb him, she only checked him to check his temperature, let him rest, gave him wet food and gave him water with a syringe. At times he improved and again fell with a break. I was waiting before taking him to the vet because I had just taken him recently and I was recovering from the economic blow as who says, apart from that I had already had experience with my sister's cat, who has had the flu and has been cured perfectly. But there was something that did not add up to me: I had never seen Ikki sneeze. And that was a very noticeable symptom in my sister's cat when she got sick with the flu.


Como lo vi de muy buen ánimo ayer en la mañana, hasta el punto de comer sus croquetas, me sentí más aliviada. Llegó la hora de darle agua por la noche y con cuidado le colocaba la jeringa, para no molestarlo (aparte que no le gustaba ese método para beber y se ponía muy inquieto), pero como no podía ver lo que estaba haciendo y quería evitar que se obstinara y empezara a moverse (porque ya tenía energía y me lastimaba), le acerqué más la jeringa y le levanté el labio... ahí fue cuando el drama comenzó... No tenía su colmillo superior ¡El definitivo! Inmediatamente le vi el otro lado ¡Tampoco lo tenía! Entré en crisis, él ya había mudado sus dientes de leche ¿Qué había pasado? Lo primero que me vino a la mente fue que se encontraba tan enfermo que se le estaban cayendo los dientes. Me puse a llorar, era muy tarde como para ir al veterinario. Ikki estaba de lo más tranquilo, hasta se atrevió a beber agua desde su pote él solo (y bebió mucho), eso me tranquilizó un poco, eso y que comía normalmente. Pero no dejaba de llorar. Eran sus colmillos superiores definitivos y ya no estaban ¿Qué iba a ser de él?


As I saw him in very good spirits yesterday morning, to the point of eating his croquettes, I felt more relieved. It was time to give him water at night and he carefully placed the syringe on him, so as not to disturb him (apart from the fact that he did not like this method of drinking and he became very restless), but since he could not see what he was doing and wanted to prevent him from He stubborn and began to move (because he already had energy and it hurt me), I brought the syringe closer to him and raised his lip ... that's when the drama began ... He did not have his upper fang, the final one! I immediately saw the other side of him. He didn't have it either! I went into a crisis, he had already changed his baby teeth. What had happened? The first thing that came to mind was that he was so ill that his teeth were falling out. I started crying, it was too late to go to the vet. Ikki was very calm, he even dared to drink water from his pot by himself (and drank a lot), that calmed me a little, that and that he ate normally. But he wouldn't stop crying. They were his ultimate upper fangs and they were gone. What was to become of him?

Me comuniqué con mi amigo y le indiqué que temprano iríamos a llevar a Ikki al veterinario. No dormí nada anoche, no dejaba de sentirme triste por esto que le estaba pasando a mi querido gato. En cuanto amaneció me comuniqué con la veterinaria, anunciando que iría. Los momentos entre salir y caminar hasta el sitio fueron bastante mortificantes, temía ante el diagnostico del doctor.


I contacted my friend and told him that we would go to take Ikki to the vet early. I did not sleep at all last night, I kept feeling sad about this that was happening to my dear cat. As soon as dawn came I contacted the vet, announcing that I would go. The moments between leaving and walking to the site were quite mortifying, I was afraid of the doctor's diagnosis.

Al llegar tuvimos que esperar un poco, pues teníamos a dos pacientes por delante. Uno de ellos era una pobre gatita que estaba preparando para una cirugía de emergencia, al parecer había dado a luz hacía poco y uno de los bebes había quedado dentro, provocando el malestar de la gata ya que el mismo se estaba descomponiendo dentro de la pobre minina. El otro era un perro que sufría de artritis y estaba recibiendo su dosis de inyecciones, el pobre estaba asustado, la mamá humana lo cargaba y trataba de hacerlo sentir seguro y de aliviar sus dolores.


When we arrived we had to wait a bit, as we had two patients ahead of us. One of them was a poor kitten who was preparing for an emergency surgery, apparently she had given birth recently and one of the babies had been left inside, causing the cat's discomfort since it was decomposing inside the poor my girl. The other was a dog that suffered from arthritis and was receiving his dose of injections, the poor man was scared, the human mother was holding him and trying to make him feel safe and relieve his pain.

Cuando llegó el turno de Ikki (uno de los veterinarios preparaba todo para la operación de la gata), él estaba asustado como siempre. Con la voz un poco quebrada le comenté al veterinario lo que había pasado y le revisó el hocico. Me confirmó una de mis sospechas: Ikki se había quebrado esos colmillos hacía días, mencionándome que ya estaba casi sanos y en efecto, se veían mejor que ayer. Fue entonces que entendí que el malestar de Ikki no había sido un simple resfriado común, sino los síntomas por la pérdida de sus colmillos. Le inyectó desinflamatorio y antibiótico por prevención y me le recetó un antibiótico. Me dijo que a lo mejor había mordido algo y le había pasado eso, aunque la verdad no sé que haya podido ser. Un amigo de mi novio nos comentó que uno de sus gatos perdió los mismos colmillos en una pelea. Pero en el caso de Ikki, desconozco la razón. Sólo que no me di cuenta en el momento de lo que estaba sucediendo.


When Ikki's turn came (one of the vets was preparing everything for the cat's operation), he was scared as always. With a slightly cracked voice I told the vet what had happened and he checked his muzzle. He confirmed one of my suspicions: Ikki had broken those fangs days ago, mentioning that he was almost healthy and indeed, they looked better than yesterday. It was then that I understood that Ikki's discomfort had not been a simple common cold, but the symptoms of the loss of his fangs. He injected her with anti-inflammatory and antibiotic for prevention and prescribed an antibiotic. He told me that maybe he had bitten something and that had happened to him, although the truth is I don't know what it could have been. A friend of my boyfriend told us that one of his cats lost the same fangs in a fight. But in the case of Ikki, I don't know why. I just didn't realize at the time what was happening.

(En cuanto se dio cuenta de que podía volver al transportador, no dudó en hacerlo 😞 / As soon as he realized that he could return to the transporter, he did not hesitate to do so 😞)


El veterinario me indicó que Ikki no tendría problemas para comer su comida habitual. Lo único es que debo estar pendiente si existe algún cambio en la coloración de lo que le queda de los dientes (las encías las tenía un poco hinchadas), pero que del resto, no es necesario hacer nada más. Nos retiramos para que el veterinario entrara a la sala de operaciones con su colega para atender a la pobre gatita cuya vida estaba pendiendo de un hilo.


The vet told me that Ikki would have no problem eating his usual food. The only thing is that I must be aware if there is any change in the coloration of what remains of the teeth (the gums were a bit swollen), but that of the rest, it is not necessary to do anything else. We left for the vet to enter the operating room with his colleague to tend to the poor kitten whose life was hanging by a thread.

Al llegar a casa dejé a Ikki descansando y fui a buscar la medicina, por suerte la conseguí a un módico precio. Ya le dimos la primera dosis. Por suerte parece que el sabor no estan malo porque no se resistió a tomarla.


When I got home I left Ikki to rest and went to get the medicine, luckily I got it at a reasonable price. We already gave him the first dose. Luckily it seems that the taste is not bad because he did not resist taking it.

Todo esto que pasó fue muy sorpresivo para nosotros. Cada vez que veo a Ikki me da un poco de dolor pensar en que ya no tiene sus colmillos superiores. Lo que me tranquiliza es que ya ha recuperado parte de su apetito y energía, tampoco ha vuelto a tener fiebre. Ahora sólo es cuestión de que él se adapte a su nueva mordida y ayudarlo a que sea lo más sencillo para él.


All this that happened was very surprising for us. Every time I see Ikki it pains me a bit to think that he no longer has his upper fangs. What reassures me is that he has already recovered part of his appetite and energy, he has not had a fever again. Now it's just a matter of him adjusting to his new bite and helping him make it as easy as possible for him.

Esten pendientes de sus mascotas y cuando las vean enfermas, revísenlas bien para ver si la razón de su malestar es visible y puedan actuar a tiempo. Por suerte parece que los colmillos de Ikki no le van a causar mayor malestar cuando se cure por completo, pero si se hubiese tratado de algo más grave, hubiera sido muy tarde para actuar. Si es posible, acudan de inmediato al veterinario ante cualquier anormalidad en sus comportamientos. Muchas gracias por haber leído, les estaremos informando.


¡Hasta una próxima oportunidad!


Be aware of your pets and when you see them sick, check them well to see if the reason for their discomfort is visible and they can act in time. Luckily it seems that Ikki's fangs will not cause him more discomfort when he heals completely, but if it had been something more serious, it would have been too late to act. If possible, see the vet immediately for any abnormal behavior. Thank you very much for reading, we will be informing you.


Until next time!
