Thanks Pam,
Bamama is 12ish. Found her making babies. 3rd batch I found her
with the kids. Since I had made friends with her we conned her into
coming upstairs and got the babies. Her and her family stayed for a
while till the kids where big enough to adopted. After I had her
spayed I was gonna release her back into the wild. But 3 months of
indoor living changed her mind and when I released her she was so
scared, she was cowaring as she slinked along the fence near
where I found her. So I couldn't bear it and took her back to my
apartment (No cats or dogs allowed). I was 6 doors down from the
office but she was such a good girl never sat on the window or
meowed until I came home from work. Then if I did not come in
right away she would jump up and meow to me.
I since then moved and have my own house along with 5 other
cats, a rabbit, 5 fosters (one is Charmed who is Felv positive). She
is the biggest coach potatoe you want to see even before the aids
took effect. She loves everyone who comes in. She still walks up to
any stranger in our house hoping for a pet on her head.
She never had her teeth cleaned but when I go home tonight I will
look at them or at the lastest on Saturday. That's the day I let her
slide on liquid vitamins.
Carla
PS look forward to seeing your pics when you get to them.

Carla, how old is Bamama? If her teeth are just yellow, with no tartar buildup, and
gums are OK, probably doesn't need a teeth cleaning. However, if she's over 2 yrs.
and it's been a while since her diagnosis, I'll bet she does need a cleaning and I'll
bet her gums aren't perfect, either. Get
her to open wide and take a real good look!!!
Sounds as though you are giving her plenty of help already, so maybe they aren't that
bad because you're already doing what's right.
Bovine lactoferrin is what all the vets who specialize in gingivitis/stomatitis
recommend on VIN, the veterinary information network for vets. My previous vet did a
search for Lucy, and that's what was recommended. It is about $60 for 100 pills. You
can maybe break them down and put in wet
food. It is made from colostrum. Colostrum is first milk from any animal - cows are
usually used for the stuff in the health food stores. I think it is in pill form, but
again may be able to be put in a little wet food. It is not as concentrated as bovine
lactoferrin, but one vet said he had
a client who used it, and he saw improvement in her cat's gingivitis.
Have pix of Lucy and all my other babies, still with me and those I lost this past
year and want to put them on the web but have not yet had time. Maybe soon - will let
you all know when I do.
