We'll keep up the prayers. How in the world do you use an oral hygiene rinse on cats????

I'm relieved to hear Storm's dental went well and he's back. I'm sending positive thoughts that the hisopathology results will come back fine. He must be feeling a lot better now - and you too. :)
Using that oral hygiene rinse on all your cats will probably take all evening, so if we don't see you here much, we know why. ;) Good luck with it!
Using the oral hygiene rinse is very easy. I just dip a q-tip into the rinse and then swab it over the front part of their teeth. With dogs you use the special tip that comes with it and you have to squirt it in their mouth so this would be much more difficult and messy. My vet had already shown me how to do it and it's really very easy. The hardest part tonight was trying to catch Ziggy.
I'm glad that Storm's dental work went well and he doesn't need any follow up treatment.
Daisy sends lots of :love: to her handsome Storm.
Great news!
I thought the rinse was the type that is added to water - and it helps when they drink the stuff. :)
Glad it's easy to do. What's the brand? I should try it on my babies!
Glad Storm is eating - and hope everyone is giving him all the attention they missed giving him! (Furkids, I meant! :D )
Glad to hear it went well.
The name of the dental rinse is C.E.T. Oral Hygiene Rinse for dogs and cats and it's by Virbac. It has chlorhexidine in it. This company also makes the C.E.T. chews that will also help remove plaque and prevent the buildup of harmful bacteria.:)Quote:

Chlorhexedine is what I use; it's good stuff, though not too palatable. Good luck w/that. :)
I just received an e-mail from my vet. This is what she said:
Hi there !
I hope Storm is doing well.
The biopsy I took of the gum indicates inflammation, with no evidence of cancer. I would like to recheck Storm in one month, to look at that area again and make sure it has resolved.
So thanks everyone who sent some PT prayers his way.:) Now hopefully his PTH Blood Test will also be fine.:)
Great news!
Thanks for the update - what great news! :)
WooHoo!
Wonderful news for Storm and for you!!

I HOPE I HAVE AS GOOD A CHECK UP AS YOU DID, MY FRIEND STORM!!
I HAVE AN OUCHIE, AND I THINK THAT I AM GOING BACK TO THE VETS, BUT I DONT KNOW WHEN!!!
JUKE JOINT JOSEPH.
I'm so glad that the biopsy came back as negative for cancer. This must have been a difficult couple of days while you waited for the news! I hope Storm's healing gums and teeth (or lack there of!) will help him to feel more comfortable and more like his old self. :)
