Oscar had that - FORL - Feline Ododontal Resorption Lesion. Cats are good at hiding pain, and Oscar was no exception. Just over a year ago he went in for his checkup and yow! He had already lost 4 teeth to FORL and about another 7 were pulled. During surgery to remove some skin growths about a month ago, one tooth was also destroyed by FORL - the roots were pretty much gone. Both times he was on Metacam for a few days and eating wet food only. The lesion eats through the enamel, then the dentyne, the roots dissolve - poor Oscar was in so much pain and I had no idea!They removed teeth where the roots were starting to dissolve as well. Whew!
Cole's checkup was next and he lost about 4 teeth to FORL.
Zoe - ok so far.
My vet assured me it was nothing I did - researchers still don't really know what causes this. I may or may not have something to do with Vitamin D.
Glad Sam is home and I hope he feels much better soon!![]()
