Thanks. Gracie's teeth are just fine now and
she is healthy and happy and still with you, just not in her body. I am
very sure she is thanking you for the love you gave her and is sending you
more love than you ever knew possible.

I used to use a diluted oral rinse on Gracie's teeth and
gums. I would dip a Q-tip in the water and rinse and then gently swab
her teeth at the gum line. I was giving her meds everyday, so it was
just part of our routine. I'd do one side of her mouth one day, the
other side the next. Sadly, Grace didn't live long enough to tell
whether it would have saved her teeth. I did notice that her gingivitis
was better (less red at the gum line), when I was giving her Interferon alpha
regularly. Nina

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
