Sophia's poor little mouth....Update #25 with pic

Sophia could use some good vibes today. This morning she was washing her face. She's a bit obsessive about that! Everytime she pawed her mouth she let out a loud mew. She's a talker and always mewing about something, but this was distinctly different sound and clearly unpleasant for her! When I lifted her lip, her little gums are all red and swollen.

Sophia has already lost many of her teeth. She was found as a stray with a horrible gum infection. That was almost exactly a year ago. It's part of why she lives with me. When I met her, her little face was all swollen and she was miserable. I kinda flipped out on the shelter board about why they were letting an animal in their care suffer. I felt a bit obligated after that and brought her home. She's become my little snuggle buddy.

My vet clinic keeps a couple slots open for emergency appointments. Sophia is off to the clinic at 2:30 today.

POOR SOPHIA!!!!!!!! Our Raven(COTD 12/9/04) came to us with such bad teeth, two visits to the vet later, Raven had all her teeth removed. I hope that your dear Sophia will be feeling better after her teeth are taken care of. No fun for cats or humans to have problems with their teeth!!! SUPER vibes and prayers for dear Sophia!!!

I was wondering this morning how the beautiful Sophia was doing. But I sure would have preferred happy news :(

Poor Sophia - prayers and good thoughts headed your way for a speedy resolution.

Hi God ~

Have You got Your Kleen Skrubbies all ready ta wear?

Well, I'm sure sometimes they do! The receptionist commented today that she recognizes my truck now so she had everything ready before I even got in the door!

Gary, Sophia has already had major dental problems. She has very few teeth left, especially in the back of her mouth. She hasn't lost any weight, but that's probably because she only eats soft food anyway. She very rarely eats kibble.

Sophia is going back in on Monday for a dental. She will likely loose the few teeth she has left. Jessica(her vet) is going to try and save her fangs. She doesn't have much inflammation in the front so they might be saveable. I suspect the rest of them are gone this time.

Sweet little Sophia, my mushpot kitty, turns into a spitting, clawing demon cat at the clininc. She got a manicure as she was trying to slash everyone. We had to get a tech to help hold her so Jessica could look in her mouth. I find it kinda funny that my two most affectionate cats, Sophia and Glacier, both act like wild cats at the vet, but my house feral, Polly Paws, suddenly wants to cuddle when she's at the clinic!

Good luck to Sophia with her dental visit. Poor thing.

Poor Sophia - let them help you to feel better sweetheart

We Are Sending Prayers For Sophia, Especially The Tooth Challenged Cats, Who Know What Poor Sofia Is Going Through.
We Hope That This Time Fixes Everything!!!

Good luck Sophia, we also know what you are going through. My Patchs loss her teeth becouse of the diabeties and after about a year she could eat dry food, but her favoret was still water mellon.
