This past weekend Dori went in for her annual exam and shots, I brought her and Brody together but hadn't had a chance with Brody's news to post about my Dori-cat.
She is doing very good and managed to lose a pound since last year. She weighs 9 pounds now and the vet decided that we are doing well maintaining that weight.
Dori's teeth don't look very well though. He showed me that she has tarter built up on her teeth, and her gums bled just a bit when he pushed down on them. She needs to get her teeth cleaned which I am going to have done in a few months. I am wondering though, what do you guys do to keep their teeth healthy. I know some of you brush their teeth but I can not imagine Dori allowing me to get away with that. She fights the vet when he just tries to look inside. I have bought her crunchy tarter control treats in the past but she normally refuses to eat them. I need to figure out something because if her teeth look this bad and she is only 3 years old, I am worried about them causing her even worse problems in the future. Any ideas?
