I live w/ my sister and she has 4 cats with dental issues. The youngest, a 4 yr old boy, was taken to the vet where I work a couple weeks ago for excessive drooling. The vet thinks he has stomatitis, or at the very least severe dental disease and will need a lot of teeth removed. He got a covenia and a
Dexamethasone injection, and he gets transdermal gabapentin (compounded gaba that is put on his ear and absorbed there) for pain.
He has a dental specialist appt today for a consult, and hopefully extractions/cleaning soon.
It's a bit frustrating because this is the 4th of her cats so far to have dental issues. The other 3 are older (two 7 yr olds and a 15 yr old). The very youngest (3) had a broken canine tooth that was pulled this year, but otherwise her mouth is fine.
