Dusty is loosing a tooth!
Egads, this cat is falling apart! Today one of his lower canine teeth just fell
over. It is hanging out his mouth in a most snaggletooth kinda way. It doesn't seem to bother him. He let me touch it. I thought I might be able to pull it out but it didn't come out to easily. He wolfed down a can of food, grazed the dry food bowl, drank water, took a tongue bath..... it is not effecting him at all. I am sure that it will fall out on it's own. TED is calling tomorrow with his thyroid results (if they come in) and I can ask her what to do. His eye is clearer, not oozing but the membranes are still a little reddish pink and he squints. Between the Popeye squint on the left eye and the snaggletoothed snarl on the right ... he is one pathetic sight. Well I hope that we can get his "elderly" problems under control soon. Poor guy. TJ |

TJ is the root coming out as well or just the top of the tooth? It could be a cervical lesion and just the top of the tooth has broken off. If so, you should get him to the vet soon to have the root taken care of Kristy -- "As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly." - Arthur Carlson |

I hope the test results will give the answer to why he's losing his flabulousness, and purrs that the eye and tooth situations clear up. -- Marina, Frank and Nikki marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi |

The tooth has fallen out, uneventfully. I found it in the dry food bowl when I
went to replenish it. Dusty is utterly unaffected. He immediately put his face into the dry food and started eating. I took a look at the tooth, it is basically the whole canine with a very, very rotted out bottom. Where the tooth was looks okay. It's not swollen or red, he doesn't flinch when I touch the area. It basically looks like my daughter gums when she loses teeth. I will let TED know tomorrow about the tooth and see what she says. Kelsey wrote a letter to the tooth fairy on Dusty's behalf. She asked for money or a cat toy. I told her I didn't think there was a Feline Tooth Fairy. She disagrees. Guess Dusty will be getting 50 cents under his pillow, or udder..... TJ |

Cross your fingers that you can find it and turn it into a pendant )) Dynasty is 5 yers old and has 2 teeth left... she has no problem at all with that and she still prefers dry food to the soft one Also our TED confirmed that living without teeth is much much better than living with a toothache So, purrs & prayers for the rest of TED's matters.... but don't worry for the teeth ))) |
