Oscar's dental this morning

**Catty1** · 11-03-2011, 10:17 AM

Oscar is feeling very reassured that since Don Juan's dental went so well that he will be just fine also.

He has FORL - Feline Ododontal Resorptive Lesion. It's a sore that appears on the gums and bores into the tooth, and the teeth reabsorb into the gums. It's painful! It's on two of his teeth, so he will likely lose those.

Usually Oriental Shorthair and other cats have this and they lose ALL their teeth to it.

Praying for and expecting a good outcome. He will feel better afterwards!

Yay Dr Kristen!

Prayers and good wishes and healing energies for Oscar, and for Dr. Kristen and you too, Candace, for taking such good care of him.

I hope that everything will go well. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way.

I hope Oscar's dental will go well! A day of suffering, and then he will feel so much better.

Oscar is looping around the place right now, higher than a kite!

SEVEN teeth were removed, including all his canines. Several teeth had already resorbed. The poor guy must have been in so much pain, but he didn't show it.

I feel like such a bad meowmie - poor Oscar!

Metacam for a few days, plus antibiotics and soft food. I am sure he will feel tons better when he heals up.

Thanks for all the prayers and good thoughts. Oscar appreciates them and so do I.

Poor Oscar, I'm sorry he had a dental problem and am glad he got through it ok. I had never heard of FORL until I read it in your post. Maybe I should try to look at Luke's teeth (that will be a JOB). Anyway I sure am glad the appointment is over and hope he will heal quickly and get back to his old self soon. Kay
