I'll get some. The finger brush is much too big for
her very small mouth. Thanks

if the finger brush is too small and you're already using your finger -
get some sterile gauze to wrap around your finger when you use it on her
teeth. That works well. maimaipg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

I'm using the malt toothpaste (she likes the taste)
with the tiniest toothbrush you have ever seen. The finger brush is
too large for her mouth. I am supplementing that with using a
bare finger and pet toothpaste. She had blood work done a few weeks
ago and it looked really good. It also showed she had been spayed
despite the fact the vets could find no scar. She was very happy I had
the test run so she didn't get spayed twice. I have some L-Lysine
here. I'll give that a try. Her urine output seems ok. She
does have some alleries and that could be part of it I guess. I
appreciate any help. Thanks.

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
