Sandie, I too felt terrible when Oscar had FORL a few years ago. He had 7 teeth removed, and 4 had already been dissolved by this disease. I can't begin to imagine the pain he was in! I felt horrid.

My vet assured me that cats are very good at hiding pain - Oscar would have just been chewing on the side that didn't hurt.

After he came home I swear he slept for 24 hours straight just because the pain was gone.

Prayers for Cuddles that he recovers well, and prayers for you.
