I am posting this on a few groups - so I apologize for those who see this more
than once. I just want to make sure I get as much advice as possible.
My FeLv+, Bea, has had recurring gingivitis since she adopted me a year
ago. Her gums get red and swollen. We've tried numerous treatments
(brushing,antibiotics,anti-virals,cleaning) but to no avail nothing is helping
her. The anti-biotics worked but have since stopped (which has me worried on a
whole other level).
Other than her gum issue she is a healthy 3 year old.
I took her to a dental specialist yesterday who said the best course of action
at this point would be partial, possibly full extraction. He said it was
stomatitis, but nothing like the pictures I've seen on it - beginning stages. I
was wondering if anyone else has had either full or partial extraction done and
could offer any suggestions/advice.
I know it's probably the right thing to do but I'm just wondering how others
have adjusted to life with no or few teeth. And if anyone has experienced any
complications I should be made aware of.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Dawn
