My sister is a vet and she says that cat dentals can be one of the most difficult things to do cause their teeth can break so easily and they have lots of roots! That's why it's so important to try to keep your cats teeth healthy!!Hairballsandhissyfits.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08320558094471645552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536122764434872338.post-76940978871898430222017-02-07T17:06:18.149-05:002017-02-07T17:06:18.149-05:00Y, Dat's a pawsum posty.

Kitty's f...I've seen both sides of this ... Kitty's fang became inflamed and she stopped eating and by the time we realized it, she had hepatic lipidosis and then diabetes. Our family was chaotic at that time and so no one person was in charge of taking care of her ... so it slipped through the cracks. As you know, I brush Bear's teeth every day ... a few weeks after bringing him inside, I noticed blood on the toy we were playing tug-of-war with. I couldn't figure out how an 8 month old cat could have dental problems, so I ignored it until a year later with an emergency visit to the vet for something unrelated (and yes, he had a yearly exam in there ... but the vet didn't look in his mouth or at his teeth). I guess he just has a proclivity to problems. Even so, a visual examination isn't enough ... he's gotten the all clear several times ... one time a tooth fell out at home ... and then the vet finally acknowledged he was getting pockets under his teeth that the vet couldn't detect with a simple visual examination. I've been brushing his teeth daily (for almost 10 years) since the first incident when he was 1 1/2, and he still loses teeth. It's so frustrating for both of us! The moral of the stories is dental health is a big deal ... and no matter how old your cat is, make sure your vet does a check of his/teeth at every visit! This is the post where I talked about both situations: http://mommakatandherbearcat.blogspot.com/2015/10/watch-out-for-teeth.html. I've been meaning to re-write the post for several reasons ... one being that Bear's had a dental and lost another molar since the post was published.Momma Kat and Her Bear Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04254210236142173792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536122764434872338.post-1684254950798127422017-02-07T14:50:15.827-05:002017-02-07T14:50:15.827-05:00Interesting post !
