It has been 18 mons since my kitty's full mouth extraction. I was tormented by the decision to do the surgery. I pray so hard for this cat and went to three vets before giving in. It was the right move for us. I know every cat is different and heals differently. My vet did her surgery early in...

Here in Florida, I took my cat to several vets and finally found a board certified feline specialist in Ormond. She agreed that the best treatment would be a full mouth extraction. It cost us $1800 in summer of 2015. My kitty has been a new girl ever since. It was worth it to us, especially...

I know this is an old thread but in case anyone needs this info. My poor kitty was diagnosed in March and after spending about $600 on steroid shots and pain mess, I went to a Board Certified feline specialist. She too recommended a full mouth extraction and the quote I received for everything...
