Adopted stray has fishhead breath
I've had him wormed, de-fleaed, washed. He's gotten his leuk test
(negative) and his leuk and rabies shot. He's a hell of a sport about all this, too. He seems grateful to be taken in by someone and to be safe. But the poor fellah has fishhead breath. He does have a bottom incisor missing. Could an infection have set up in there? I'm not so much worried about the smell as about his health. What would account for fishhead breath in a cat judged to be about four years old and who is now intestinal parasite free? |

When my Siamese (RB) developed bad breath, the Vet found two teeth that had decay at gumline (she was about 14). He removed the teeth and she was her sweet old self again. MLB |

I've been through a few of these guys and you hit it on the head about being happy to have a home. It's like they *know* they aren't meant to live out there. I get happy tears for the lil won you took in. |
