Well I am scheduling a vet appointment for all the kitties (Houdini, Mystic and Cheetah) for a yearly exam and also tests/vaccinations. I am a little worried about Mystic because he has been sneezing like crazy! He always does this around this time of year. I don't know if it's allergies or what but I want him to get some tests done along with the others. Before I update thier shots I always have them FIV. FELV, FIP (if my vet has this test) tested before updating thier shots just to be on the safe side. After all all vaccines are not a guarantee.


Anyways, I am also going to have the cats teeth cleaned. Cheetah is two years old and I think a dental scaling should be in order for her. Mystic really needs it done and Houdini seems like she needs it, although not as bad as Mystic, but she still needs it as there is tarter buildup etc. Now here is the dilemma. Houdini has a heart mumur. I know she needs to have her teeth cleaned but anesthesia is a risk for her. We could have tests done first which would tell us if she would be at risk or not. I am torn between her needing her teeth cleaned and her getting sick from bad teeth in the future. I don't want her to get sick but I don't want to lose her from going under either. What do you all think I should do? Either way I would be risking something!
