This fountain was purchased because it was not plastic and saw it on a site on constipation for cats and was promoted as one that cats would use. However, it is expensive. It is very heavy,...

I had to use a dropper with this since it was kind of hard to put it in my cat's ears. I cleaned my cats ears first, then I put the R-7M cleaner in her ears. Next, I inserted 10 drops into each...

It is the most economical litter I have ever used. I only put a layer of litter in the pan that will cover half the pan. As the cats use it, it turns to sawdust. When its all dust you dump it....

This is probably the single most important toy I ever bought. I got it when my boy was a kitten and two years later, he still plays with it every day.

I've dealt with this in all of my cats; a vet visit then daily home care.
What did the vet say it was? Gingivitis? My cats back teeth look sore! I gave some anti's and they look good but then it comes back automatically after the treatment.

Bad teeth and gums can cause many diseases in cats, including and especially kidney failure. Your kitty needs to see the vet, and get a dental cleaning. Some extractions may need to be done too.
after the dental work from your vet, a home care program can be started.

Red gums and bad breath meant gingivitis and peridontal disease for my Cotton. I'd book him in at the vets for a dental check-up and probably a cleaning.
Like Otto says, dental disease can cause many worse issues for cats - it's much better to see a vet and get this dealt with as soon as possible. the earlier you can get a good home-care routine going, the better your chances of gettign gingivitis under control.

Moose is prone to gingivitis; he's had two teeth pulled already and I use a pet oral care gel every day, with my vet's okay. Definitely see your vet first for a professional opinion and home care plan.
