My girl has to have oral surgery. Ugh. [View all]

She's been having trouble with her jaw. She keeps her mouth partly open once in a while and I took her into the vet because I suspected she might have had a tooth infection. Turns out her front fang is loose. So she's going in on Monday to have it removed. They'll check to the rest of her teeth. She's going under and I'm a bit of a worry wart. Keeping my fingers crossed that everything goes okay. The vet says it's fairly common in Abyssinians.

She will be so much happier when it's over. Pretty sure a loose fang is not pleasant. Polly Hennessey Sunday #7
