Re: Gingivitis


Don't look at me girls I haven't got your brain cell, honest

DM please post anything I should ask my vet. I appreciate any comments and advice no matter how awful or scary it may sound.

Have no idea what they class as a dental but they used a vet called Valley Vets which I believe is the vets in a vet programme on BBC2 Wales.

Health history given to us by the previous owners who got the kittens from a friend.

The little girl was the smallest of the litter. They have both been vaccinated. According to the previous owners vet it is very unusal to have gingivitis in a cat of her age but not impossible and it is caused by a lack of calcium when young She is very thin and needs to be hand fed the first couple of mouthfuls of food before she'll eat any off the dish.

I'll phone my vets tomorrow and ask their advice. Moli takes one step in the house has a sniff, a growl and then legs it which might not be a bad thing at the moment

Re: Gingivitis


My previous siamese had gingivitis, he had all his teeth, bar his fangs removed when he was 8, and it only cost me £65......£200 seem an awful lot.....

Re: Gingivitis


Moli what was he like after he had his teeth removed? Did he start to eat more?

Salt is really thin and looks really sad bless her. She doesn't eat a lot, 1/3rd of a tin of food if I'm lucky, because it hurts her Am wondering if it would be better in the long run if she had her teeth removed, if that is an option open to us once my vet has seen her.
