Some of you may remember back in January 2013, Tim had his teeth cleaned, then was diagnosed with stomatitis and had most of his teeth extracted. (this is a great article from over on Catster.com)
But, speaking of Tim, when he was at the v-e-t the last time, she noticed that the teeth he has left (his fangs basically) were also getting inflamed.
In honor of Pet Dental Health Month, Tim may end up being toothless.
Mom knows she should be brushing teeth around here, but honestly, she has this weird thing about keeping her fingers attached to her hand. Far be it from us to deny her the right to feed us more treats for a good cause.
We don't get our teeth brushed, either, even though the head peep knows it would be best for us. So dental treats are our best bet!
ReplyDeletePoor Tim :( You will still be cute even without those fangs.
ReplyDelete"She has this weird thing about keeping her fingers attached to her hand." MOL!!!
ReplyDeleteI give the cats some Biotene once in awhile; that's the closest we've gotten to brushing their teeth. Here's hoping Tim can keep his teeth and still be healthy!
ReplyDeleteBrushing a cat's teeth is like the flavoured medicines that cats are supposed to love - one of those veterinarian-recommended things that are great in theory. They make me wonder how many vets actually have pets.
ReplyDeletewell they look happy :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, our mom feels the same way. Then again, she's always letting the outside visiting kitties bite her so what's up with that? Then again, again, do we want our mom sticking her fingers in our moufs? Hmm, let us bite a while on that one...
ReplyDeletewe bee greenies fanz round heer two....we even like de pill pocketz !! ♥♥
ReplyDeletePoor Tim! Inflamed teeth are no fun, and sometimes we kitties don't let on when stuff like that bothers us.
ReplyDeletePoor Tim ! Those treats sounds like good help for teeth health. Purrs
ReplyDeleteThose treats sound tasty, but I won't eat any sort of treats since I discovered my mum had been hiding pills in them. I have my teeth brushed every day though and I am very good to have it done.
ReplyDeleteThe mom tried brushing our teeth and it was an epic fail! So we've been getting dental treats and we love them!
ReplyDeleteI hope the Greenies work well for you! We can understand your mom wanting to keep her digits as it. :)
ReplyDeleteCammie!
Our mom is with yours. Teeth brushing is not happening. She knows she'd be a mangled mess. We have some dental treats that we got in our Pet Box that we all really like. We got some of those nommy Greenies ones from Santa. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
