Zoe has been an exemplary patient the past week she’s worn a protective cone following dental and eye surgery. It was very daunting hearing that she had to wear a cone for two weeks to allow the stitches under her eyes to heal, but she’s proven a very patient and good kitty, and I’m impressed [...]

As with every dental surgery, our vet sends us home with pictures that were taken pre-surgery of our cat’s teeth.
