Hi,
I've never had success trying to brush a cat's teeth; mine all hate it. Are you using the finger brush and the chicken or liver toothpaste? If you are actually able to brush them, that is probably helpful.
Is Dixie Louise taking L-Lysine? Sometimes mouth problems are due to herpes virus infection and the Lysine would help; actually, if there is anything viral going on, it would help. Has she had recent bloodwork? Sometimes sudden bad breath can related to problems with the kidneys. Is her urinary output looking OK?

Dixie Louise is FeLV + and has gingivitis. She has lost a couple of teeth (maybe from the gingivitis or maybe from the poor living conditions she had--she was a throwaway). She has developed an odd odor to her breath. I am trying to brush her teeth and she is on Interferon as well as some homeopathic/alternative meds. Can anyone give me any advise on brushing a cat's teeth and on how to deal with this problem? She is about a year and a half old (best guess) and extremely sweet.Thanks

If you're thinking about de-clawing your cat, you need to re-think your decision to acquire a pet.
