...his non-anesthetic dental, I should say.
When we were in last month, I forgot to bring the info I printed out from the http://www.fivtherapy. site. His (holistic) vet asked us to just send it to her. So we have a half hour consult with her to discuss what we're going to do going forward... and then we'll start to tackle his gingivitis by beginning with the dental.
I was supposed to try treating his gums with honey... but I can't do it! I have a baby tooth brush AND a finger cover kind of brush... and he loves being "petted" with both on his cheeks - but his gums are sensitive. He loves eating the babyfood that got wiped on him - kind of on his gums.
I started trying to train him with the babyfood... But I'm NOT good at this, so we'll also have to discuss other options after he gets his dental... if they're able to do it!
But Chum is doing GREAT! He doesn't overgroom at all anymore, he's not itchy/scratchy, his fur is all grown back in - except on his abdomen, and even there it's almost all the way grown back. He's getting more and more comfortable here, and moves around with much more ease than he did.
He is SUCH a playful boy, and purrs a lot now with the head rubs we give him. He still doesn't like hands very much... which is part of why Tuesday morning is going to be so .... interesting.
