So my Sunny cat has always had dental issues. Bad breath, swollen gums. Finally recently diagnosed with stomatitis, he is supposed to have a full dental removal next month (He already has some back teeth missing, though, not sure how! Happened before we got him.)
Anyway, he had one of his front canines fall out a few weeks ago. It got extra long, then one day it just disappeared. Left a large hole in his gums. All through this I was dosing him with Colloidal Silver to keep infection away (which works amazingly well and there was no infection, per the vet).
Anyway, I'm honestly surprised at the sheer length of it... wow! The tooth looks healthy, honestly, so the problem is indeed in the gums.
But he no longer has bad breath and he obviously feels SO much better... to the point I'm wondering if surgery is not the right idea, at least not for now?
It's funny though, because that lip doesn't have a tooth to keep it's shape, the bottom tooth keeps poking his lip up and he looks like he's snarling. In reality, he's a total love bug... so it's hilarious to see him do this lol.
What do you guys think? Full dental removal? What is that like? Recovery time?
The tooth!
The snarl!
His regular happy kitty face.
