My nephews cat is diagnosed with FORL. The cat had blood in her mouth, so theytook him to the vet. He found out that the cat FORL!! ALL teeth have to be removed next monday :eek: :eek:
Unbelievable, they never noticed anything! The cat Doki is only 6 years old!

Anyone here on PT who has a cat with this?

I have several with it; I was just getting ready to come over here. :) The common name, at least for our vets, is "neck lesions."

There's some information and pictures here:

I've never heard of this before. Will Doki be ok? After all her teeth are removed will she be able to have a normal kitty life?

John Hancock, my Big Balinese had gum disease and all his teeth were taked out save 2.
He was two years old, and had trouble the first month, and wouldnt touch the food the Vet gave him, the soft Canned.
He ate his dry and after a week where he lost some meals was doing fine.
Hes a Big Healthy Boy at 9 now.
We are praying for Doki.
