hello,
I just wanted to say, that my 2 of the 3 cats i have; have had this crusted.. what i call dirty mouth, i took them to the vet for it and vet cleaned thier mouth area with poroxide and told me that it is like bacteria and dirt.. generally comes from them eating from plastic dishes. told me to use stainless steal dishes... they occasionally get it now and then but only since i used a plastic dish for their food, still use a steel one for water.. so thinking maybe they got it back because of dish.... hope this helps.

Maybe get Ringo and the others some teeth-cleaning treats - that might help. There are also drops that can be added to their drinking water that help fight tartar and thus any associated infections.

A free call to the vet tech might be able to advise you on which of these might be a good idea.

I hope Ringo is healed soon!
