I was curious to know how your kitty is doing and whether or not you found out what the strange noise is. Keep us posted!

hey ladies thanks so much for the help and advice . I took my cat to the vet , she was starting to get stomatitis , they gave her a depo shot , and medicine , and she took her medicine for 14 days & thanks god that sound stop. She was doing the sound because everytime she chew her gums hurt , and she was in pain ... but thanks god everything is fine . She stop doing it , and the vet said she needs to come back for a dental but when she's older , because she's pretty young, & the vet also said that she might need the shot again next month because it can come back. So lets hope for the best. Thanks !!!!!!

I've not had that experience w/any of my Fur Posse but I know that several here on PT have so perhaps they'll comment and give you some encouragement and suggestions. I'm glad that you got your vet checked out. Good vet care is an absolute must. I'm glad, too, that your kitty is feeling better and we'll send up prayers that she stays that way.

Good news!

I wonder if good kitty treats would help prevent stomatitis? If there is stuff on her teeth, Greenies or MediTreats (from vet) would be good.

Or, buy a very small bag of Dental Formula food and use that for treats.

Glad she is not hurting any more. Give her a snuggle for me.

Sam is young and has problems with his teeth. I give him only bottled water. The local water company puts an antibiotic in the water, which kills the bad and good bacteria. So a yeast type organism grows quickly and infects his gums.

Try any water that has been purified or distilled or boil and cool your own. It may not cure it but it can keep the flareups down to a minimum.

Good luck

For further treatment of teeth, my vet gave me Chlorhexadine mouthwash for my RB Puddy who had gingivitis to be squirted right on her gums.

Glad to hear your baby is feeling better. Ask your vet if it's okay to give her human baby food (meat). Cammie (our senior kitty) has had most of her teeth removed and loves a jar of baby food every day. Our vet said that as long as there aren't any onion or garlic listed in the ingredients, it's okay to give it to them. Cammie likes chicken and ham but doesn't like turkey or beef.
