We took Morris to the vet a few days ago, because he was drooling (Really foul smelling drool too), he was losing weight, and his coat looked pretty dull and scruffy looking. I had checked his teeth, and one looked infected. It turns out he has gingivitis. Hes 8 years old. The vet gave him antibiotics, and he has his appetite back, hes even eating dry food now. His coat looks good again, and hes not drooling anymore.
Can it just go away? Will it come back? What happens when the antibiotics are gone? Is surgery something that he will have to have in the future?
I was told he would start losing teeth early..and probably have to eat mush food.
Just looking for advice, and knowledge of feline gingivitis.
