    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.

    Sophia, our Raven sends you good vibes and prayers that all will go well when you are at the vet for your dental. Be a good girl. If you lose all your teeth, you will be just fine. Raven has lived and eaten very nicely for about 7 years with all her teeth gone!!!

    Awe... poor Sophia! I was just wondering about her the other day. I remember your original posts before you adopted her, about a "hypothetical cat with little to no teeth", and wondered how she was doing.

    Big smoochies to Sophia, and hope her mouth feels much better soon!

    She's still hypothetical! Since I am over the number of allowed cats here, she's a very noisy, bossy figment of my imagination!

    Update

    Sophia is at the clinic and her vet just called. Her bloodwork shows incredibly high white blood cell counts. Rick thinks that's coming from the infection in her mouth, which he says is very bad. Silly cat never showed any signs til Thursday when she mewed every time she touched her face! He says it's still safe to knock her out and that it's only going to get worse if her teeth aren't fixed. She's gonna get some IV antibiotics before the surgery and come home with more pills. Rick expects she's going to loose all her teeth! Oh, well, she never liked kibble anyway. She's a canned food girl!

    Sophia, I know some Found Kitties who can relate to dental work! I'm sorry to hear you have an infection and I hope you feel much better soon.

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!

    Look at the bright side, Sophia ...no need to *brush* every night!

    Maybe Mom can stop at the store on the way home ~~~
    Pick up some Baby Food in cat-approved flavours -
    the *mushed-up* stuff designed for Toothless-2-Leggers.

    FEEL BETTER Soon, Soph!

    Cats are incredibly good at hiding problems from thier meowmies.

    Mouth bacteria can get into the bloodstream and make a pet sick. Hopefully once they get the rest of the bad teeth out Sophia will feel much better. BTW some animals do manage to 'gum' moistened kibble, but since you said Sophia doesn't like it much anyways, I'm sure she wouldn't mind the canned. lol. I hope the teeth pulling goes well and Sophie comes home soon.
