Hi there. My cat Felix had to have his top fangs removed some years ago, along with a few other teeth because they were rotten inside and making him sick. Since then he has managed to eat but he is forever chewing his lips with his bottom fangs, leaving many scars and generally giving the impression of discomfort and irritation. I have tried to discourage this behaviour but he just runs away to chew his lip where he thinks I can't see him. He is very old now, just had his 18th birthday, so I fear that if he gets the bottom fangs removed he may not survive the anaesthetic. Recently he claws at his mouth while eating and this bothers me. He has a voracious appetite and has not lost his enthusiasm for food (like all Siamese he is very demanding!) so he is eating regularly but his discomfort pains me and I am unsure how to proceed from here. Any advice?
