Good morning:coffee:

I have been looking at Osha's teeth pretty closely over the last few weeks. It's pretty crazy how quickly the inside of her mouth has just changed in a matter of days, but it is pretty clear to me that she has gingivitis. This would certainly explain her numbers. I already have an vet appointment this Saturday. She would have been in sooner, but it takes so long to get a Saturday appointment. But in the end, maybe the wait was a good thing because her gums did not look anything like this when I made the appointment. So fingers and paws crossed that this is the issue and and that it won't cost me an arm and a leg. I just finished paying off her last dental from October this month.

I hope everyone has a good day.

Amanda and Kitty Osha
 
Sorry Osha's mouth looks bad. I hope that's what causing the higher numbers and it won't be really expensive to treat. Sending prayers. :bighug:

At least you can get a look at them. Gizmo won't let me. It is a huge fight that includes hissing and claws :banghead:. I have tried twice since his dental (a month ago) just to take a look - nope! Lol.

I hope this is your answer becsuse, though not cheap, it isn't something more serious and easily remedied.
 
:( sorry about the teeth, sending some good vetty vines in advance for the little Empress.

It may indeed hold the answer to her numbers. It's nice to see she saw some blue last night and is starting of a little lower this morning.:bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
some people on here add something to the water to help with the teeth.... is that something you have tried for Osha... hopefully its an easy fast fix and her numbers reflect it fast.. hope you had a good day Amanda :bighug::bighug:
 
Hope the vetty visit goes good for both Osha and the wallet. Osha, we have already had the talk about pink not suiting such a dignified empress.:p
 
Hi, Amanda. :banghead: gingivitis...:banghead:
Crossing paws for good vetty visit on Saturday. And a steady stream of feel better and green and blue vines for your Empress❤

Amanda, here is the link with info on dental treatments from Tanya's site. Not sure what @Lincolns Mom is referring to but it does talk about some treatment and preventative gels.

Oral Gel Products
Biotene makes several products which people have found helpful. Be careful that you choose the correct products though, because some in their range are not suitable.

Co-enzyme Q10
Antioxidants mop up free radicals in the body, which are associated with aging and disease. Co-enzyme Q10 (CoQ10), also known as ubiquinone or ubiquinol, is an antioxidant that is used by the body in energy production. Human research indicates that it may be helpful in the treatment of periodontal disease.

Effect of topical application of coenzyme Q10 on adult periodontitis(1994) Hanioka T, Tanaka M, Ojima M, Shizukuishi S & Folkers K Molecular aspects of medicine 15 Suppl pp241-8 found that the topical application of CoQ10 appeared to improve periodontitis in humans. Sugano, N, et al. There were similar findings in more recent research by Nihon University School of Dentistry presented to The 63rd Meeting of the Vitamin Society of Japan, Hiroshima, Japan on 4th and 5th June 2011.

I don't know anybody who has tried this in a cat, but if you want to try it, check with your vet first. More information on CoQ10 can be found here.

Feline Gingivostomatitis

Treatment of this debilitating oral condition will typically involve either one or both of two options, depending on the extent of the disease: 1: Medical management using drugs to suppress the immune system and control the proliferation of bacteria in an affected animal’s mouth; or http://www.vet.cornell.edu/fhc/health_information/anesthesia.cfm
2: surgical management

Small Kitty went back to gingivitis after dental, and only meds was necessary as surgical was already
done.

Med was Clavaseptin given twice a day for 7 days. Think this costed ''nothing''.

Hope that will be as simple as this.
