Keds Medical Thread - not eating on own

If there is any chance of a uterine infection, it seems a spay would be the best route (besides taking care of the ovarian cysts).
You will want to read up on surgery and after care to be prepared. These are useful articles.

Keds doesn’t seem as miserable as she had been looking before the Tramadol. She walks around a fair bit and eats a bit of her favorite veggies. However the past couple days she has had a very wet chin and appears to be grooming/wiping her mouth a lot. She makes a yawning motion when she does this. She also seems a little less agreeable to the syringe feeding. Hoping the molar trim will help. Perhaps her teeth are getting overgrown due to the prolonged soft diet...?
She seems to be doing ok so far after surgery. We are at day 3 post-op. But her mouth issues and eating has not really improved. Trying to get a second vet that may have more experience with dental issues.
Is there a difference between a regular xray and a skull xray? The latter has more detail I assume? Vet basically said her molars look fine and didn’t know what the issue was. Would an abscess show up on xray? She only had a full body one apparently.

I cropped a closeup of your picture so we can see the teeth a little better (let me know if that is okay). Do you know if the small, discolored upper incisor has been broken more than once? Sometimes discoloration can indicate it will fall out again and may have been injured or infected.
