Hard Substance in Back Teeth Found During the Dental Cleaning ?

HI ,

 My almost two year old kitty had a dental today and the vet saw a hard substance (she thought may be tartar build up but was not sure)  behind her back molars and she removed it. Along with this some tiny baby teeth came out. She said it was pressing into my kitty's palate and must have been causing pain. She said actually she has never seen anything like that before! Reason I took her in was because she had been pawing at her mouth. I did once let he gnaw on a raw turkey neck (very small piece) on advice of other vet to help clean her teeth. Is it possible that some tiny bones from the turkey neck lodged behind her tiny teeth and that's what the vet saw? Really strange...

Well, I guess anything is possible.  How long ago did you let her gnaw on that turkey neck?  I would think of part of a bone got stuck behind her molars, she would have started pawing at her mouth THEN. 

Certainly sounds weird.  So whatever it was was blocking the baby teeth for all this time?  No wonder she was "uncomfortable"

HI Msgreenjeans,

Thanks for your response!

I got some more info and clarification from the vet tech who assisted with the dental cleaning. She said there were "ulcers" that were deep holes (!) that were filled with food and debris which she cleaned out ad sutured! I asked how my cat got these and she said posibley from the digestive enzymes I put in their food?? NOne of my other cats have these ulcers...Also they were on both sides of her mouth behind the molars... Gee I hope it;s not stomatitis or anything like that. 

Maybe it had something to do with the baby teath that were found in that debris?  Or weren't there any, really?  This may be a mystery that is never solved.

Let's just hope it doesn't re-occur
