7/23 jackson’s Amps 192 pmps 183

Lots of blue at the new dose! I got some Petsmile toothpaste and Jackson’s been tolerating it really well. I think all the dental care is helping his numbers.

 

Great start for Jackson! I need to start thinking about Mowgli's teeth, they dont bother him but they are looking pretty pretty brown

 

I’m dental care obsessed now, because of Jackson. The other two are getting their teeth brushed, too. I discovered my “kitten” has a red gum line and he’s just 2 years old.

 

I had one cat who had really awful teeth at 6 months old . He had them cleaned a few times but then had a heart murmur so back in the day (90s) they didn't want to sedate him so they left them. Kept all his teeth (even though they didn't look pretty) & never ended up with a health problem related to them....I guess we were VERY lucky! I never realized the relationship between DM & dental issues!

 

My previous cats had resorption issues that I never thought much about because they seemed fine and weren’t in good enough shape to get a cleaning. I feel guilty now! Jackson’s gum disease is thought to have led to his insulin resistance, according to vets at the shelter.
