Sounds like he's doing well. I don't know that there's anything you can do about his breath besides wait until he has the teeth removed. I have a cat in that same situation and my vet didn't recommend doing anything to his mouth until he's better and can have the dental. I removed all carpet from my entire house, and I love it!

[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Ok, guys, we're starting day 8 in Whitey's "intervention." Boy is doing much better. He's actually able to walk now without falling over. He's still wobbly, but walking. Still taking his Baytril, and no signs of pupil dilation or diarrhea yet (one week into treatment, one week to go). We're making progress. His coat looks better every day. Still a bit "rough" and "brittle" but SO much better than it was a week ago! Progress. :) He's eating a variety of high-protein foods. I stopped Friday and got several varieties (Wellness, Solid Gold, Purina ProPlan Kitten formula, Science Diet Kitten Formula, Innova EVO, and Sheba to name a few I can remember) all of which have a protein content between 11%-13.5%(Solid Gold Tuna). Still doing pretty well eating two cans a day or so. We're waiting on the FIP results. But I really just can't imagine he has FIP. He's really making headway. I think his ear infection was so bad he was almost toxic :( God love him, he literally couldn't stand up it was so bad. But he's making headway now. Jeff and I went yesterday and bought new flooring (laminate for ease of cleaning) and curtains for his sunroom. :) He's gonna be syling! I'll send pics when its all done! Now, I need a bit of advice as far as his oral care is concerned. He has the most horrible breath I've ever smelled. :( Its not normal "shew kitty breath" type thing..this literally gags me if he gets too close to my face! Help! I've also noticed his little teeth are rotten, I can see why the vet needs to pull them. And we'll get to that when he gets well enough, but my concern right now is the breath, and the "slime." His "fang" teeth are extremely long, and kinda stick out of his mouth a little bit even when its closed..and he gets this slimy stuff around his mouth near his fangs..also he was play nibbling on my arm yesterday and left all this slimy stuff...yuck! I don't know what it is, or how to clean his mouth up? Any suggestions? Someone recommended some stuff on one of these lists, called PetzLife oral care gel. It's very expensive ($25 a bottle), and while I don't mind to get it if it works, I'd hate to spend that kind of money on it if it doesn't...so, have any of you used this product (and how did you apply it), or can you guys recommend something else that might help clean his mouth up? ~M --------------------------------- Email and AIM finally together.
