It’s hard to admit that but I bring it up to caution those of you who are ignoring your cat’s teeth. The Wabby is okay, mind you. She is eating well and settling in nicely to our new home in CO. But, she has major tartar build up on her teeth (I should have been brushing them all these years, and I didn’t <sigh>), and because of this, she will probably (a) be under anesthesia longer since it will take longer to clean her teeth, and she will probably (b) lose some teeth.
Losing teeth isn’t the end of the world. But, if I’d been more attentive to her dental needs, she wouldn’t need to lose any teeth. I don’t think.
The vet was very positive when we were there a couple of weeks ago – he complimented us on her great condition, considering she’s 17 years old. And, he doesn’t think the teeth cleaning will be difficult – especially since she’s not experiencing any problems, thank goodness. And her blood and urine tests came back okay.
However, she is far beyond the time for a real, good teeth cleaning. On Friday I will spend the day worrying, until the vet calls and says she is okay. I hope she doesn’t have to stay overnight. I hope she comes home and wakes up fine and is back to her usual cuddly, fun and lazy self. (notice that the word fun when applied to the Wabby is relative – she’s not a kitten!)
Let this be a lesson. Check your cat’s teeth. Get a veterinary toothpaste and toothbrush and get your cat used to a gentle tooth brushing right at home. And make sure your vet checks your cat’s teeth regularly.
We are very lucky Wabby’s teeth have held up this long without causing abscesses or infection. Whew! Let’s now hope she makes it home Friday, safe and sound.
