Cat with either a dirty mouth or gum problem?
Just to report back....he's out of surgery and lost all of his upper teeth behind the canines. Poor guy. He also lost one canine (and had lost one in a previous dental), so he has two canines left plus his lower teeth. My poor big boy. But he's going to feel better once he heals. He definitely has stomatitis, too. At least it wasn't cancer, and all of his blood tests were fine. He spent his first couple of years of life as a feral, so didn't have the best start in life. He already eats just canned food so that's taken care of. I'm just marking time until I can go pick him up. Thanks so much for letting us know, and bless you for being such a great cat mom. I am so glad it was not anything more serious--this sounds serious enough. Will keep him in our prayers and purrs for a speedy recovery. I have some idea what yous will be going though. My 17 / 18 year old Kitty had to have four teeth removed last year and it was a bugger trying to medicate her. With those 4 removed plus the 2 roots removed when I took her in at 4 years and the fact that her front teeth between the canines were gone when I got her she does not have many left. She stills prefers dry so I buy the smallest dry I can find plus she eats a bit of canned now. |
