The Adventures of Ava

On Saturday we took Ava to the see the vet. She's 5 1/2 months old and hasn't had her shots yet, so...it was time for that lovely visit. We also wanted to ask the doctor about having her spayed. Everything checked out ok and we were told that she is "a healthy kitten." Her spay was scheduled for 3 weeks down the road and that was that.

Well, Ava had other plans in mind I suppose. Today she decided to pop her jaw out of place and start making this nauseating grinding noise with her teeth. It was disgusting. Pizza Hut was supposed to be delivering a pizza to us any minute, but now we had a kitty emergency on our hands. So, Deavin cancels our order and to the vet we go. She grinds her teeth all the way there - again, disgusting. It turns out that she broke one of her baby teeth. Broke. They rip off the hanging broken portion of the tooth and ask that we move up her surgery to next week so that they can examine the remaining part of the tooth while she is under anesthesia. Surgery is now scheduled for October 4th for her spay and tooth extraction. 

Oh, Ava, the problem child.
