(jc7098) wrote in message . com... My cat lost one of his upper "fang" teeth several years ago, and then I found the other one on the floor this morning. Does this mean he won't be able to eat regular (aka "hard") cat food anymore? I took his food away this morning b/c I wanted to give his gum time to heal from losing the tooth this morning. Any help is appreciated. thanks You should have taken him to a vet long ago. Do you think a cat's teeth are any different from yours? What if you never brushed your teeth? how long do you think you could go without a problem? Your poor neglected cat has probably suffered for years with tooth aches and the like, trusting only you for his care. How unlucky can one creature get than to have someone like YOU for an owner. You should be reported for animal abuse. IBen G. Nice Iben! This person should be shot between the eyes for this kind of animal cruelty! What kind of ******* treats his cat like that? I hope they choke to death on their own vomit! Maria |

Does this mean he won't be able to eat regular (aka "hard") cat food anymore? I took his food away this morning b/c I wanted to give his gum time to heal from losing the tooth this morning. Any help is appreciated. thanks First, see a vet. The gums could get infected. As to eating dry, cats use their molars to grind food, not their fangs. Their fangs rip and tear. Many cats don't chew their food hardly at all. So as long as he has those molars, he should be able to eat dry food just fine. He may prefer a smaller kibble, but he may not care at all. Wet, however, is better for their overall health. If he isn't getting any wet food, you may want to add some in. -- -- ~kaeli~ A bicycle can't stand on its own because it is two tired. http://www.ipwebdesign.net/wildAtHeart http://www.ipwebdesign.net/kaelisSpace |

On the off chance that these guys aren't trolls, some cat owners, esp. ones
who take in strays, don't consider a cat's teeth as a problem. You know, if you've always had farm cats or outdoor cats you didn't mess much with you proably thought nature handles that. So don't let the "guilt police" upset you. Just get hin to the vet. Bad teeth many times signal something wrong with the heart of the cat. I don't know why the connection, but I've seen it firstand. Just get him checked & he can live on wet food if he has to. Good Luck :-) "IBen Getiner" wrote in message om... (Mmhsb) wrote in message . com... (IBen Getiner) wrote in message om...
