We try to do the semi-annual dental checkups. Fortunately, neither of us have issues, so it’s reasonable upkeep. Poor Abby has had teeth extractions twice! Apparently Siamese are know for their bad teeth. The first time they pulled 7, as she had quite a few double (one tooth grows behind another), I think she was about 6 a the time. Then when she was 12 (2 yrs ago), she started getting inflamed gums again and I told the vet, pull everything that needs to come out, cause I won’t put her through this again. I think she’s got about 6 teeth left (vet said she technically didn’t need any), but she has no problems eating, and certainly is happier with no mouth pain!
The other girls seem to have fine teeth. Little Ve has another allergy episode coming on, her skin is getting bad and I’m finding little tuffs of fur around. At least it’s been long between episodes, and I’m hoping this won’t get full blown. Hopefully it will turn the corner, it looked this morning like she was starting to heal, so I’m keeping all paws crossed. I think the lysine is helping stave it off .
Stay safe and warm everyone, and I hope you don’t loose power. Have a good one all!
