Oscar had 7 teeth pulled late last year due to FORL. 3 - 4 teeth had already resorbed. FORL stands for Feline Ododontal Resorption Lesion. It's not regular decay - it's a lesion that starts up and eats through the enamel, dentine and then into the root of the tooth. Oscar was on Metacam and antibiotics for a week...poor baby must have been in such pain, but the vet said I could have done nothing to prevent it.
Interestingly, the gingivitis and tartar were reported as "minimal".
I know Storm will be feeling much more comfy from now on. Healing kissies to Storm!![]()
