Took our soon to be 20 year old cat, Blue, to the vet yesterday because one half of her face was swollen...turned out to be a rotten tooth is her upper gums (I didn't think she had any teeth left)... ...

Anyways they gave her a shot of Covinogen (antibiotic) to help but that ususally wears off in about 2 weeks...
Question is the tooth will eventually have to come out I'm sure which involves putting her under anesthesia which makes me nervous...so for the local vet here s it possible she will come through this OK? Hard question to answer I know but I'll have to eventually make a decision...
I would ask your vet as he/she knows your cat and it's health history. Maybe even get a second opinion.
