our old lady kitty, wanders into the bedroon this morning, meowing for fresh water (a usual thing)
she spent the night outside last night, and whenever shes outside, she prefers to drink the water that pools up around one of the sprinkler heads, and not from the water dish. So when she comes in the house this morning, her face looks like she's rubbed it in the dirt. Upon closer inspection, she has a lowerer tooth hanging outside of her mouth. lm holds her down to get an even closer look, when she opens her mouth, it looks like her entire mouth is infected :'(
lm took her to the vet this morning..... she lost 10 teeth today :'( :'(
jello for lily
Awww.... That sucks, mang. :-[
Someone kick her? :-\
Oh BP, positive thoughts sent your way. I hope Lily gets better.

she's like 15 people years old. She may have broken it off trying to eat some of the dogs food (the hard crunchy stuff) and we didnt notice for a few days.
lm says she home now, wandering around like shes drunk (the meds)
I may drink with her tonight. beers for my kitties
:(
Sorry Lily.
Your could get her some of these -

But seriously, hope she does OK
Sucks that she doesn't have any teeth left, but I have yet to meet a cat that wasn't thrilled to death at a diet of "soft stuff."
Hope she heals quickly.

she has been on the soft food for awhile, her body does not digest the hard stuff any more, but every so often she tried to eat the dogs food ( I guess it's payback for the dogs trying to eat the cats soft food)
Helen, our other old lady cat, lost a few teeth awhile back, and she's doing ok, so I'm hoping Lily adjusts to gumming her food too.
Our house is like a pet convalescent hospital.
Heal well Lily.
Sorry to hear about this bp. My cat Henretta is 15 also. She lost about 4 teeth last year and we never figured out how. She is still going strong. Best wishes for Lily Kitty.
May Lily live a happy and healthy rest of her life!
Good on you for getting her looked at right away, hope she settles in quickly and does well ~

:-\ poor Lily kitty. I hope she's ok and feels better soon.
Sorry to hear about Lily. :(
Get better quick little kitty. [thumbsup]
:'( So sorry. Best wishes for speedy recovery.
Hope your kitty heals up quickly. :-\

Little hugs & kisses for Lily.
Our remaining kitty had a similar issue a few years ago, lost all but 3 teeth; he still plows his way through the hard stuff though.
Of course, if lili hasn't been able to digest hard food in years, that's probably small comfort.
Sad news BP.. :-[
Sad news indeed be strong Lily [thumbsup]
Good thoughts out to Lily, My mothers cat had to go through this, she was a couple of years older though, sadly poor old bugger did not make it, but we knew she had a good life and she was treated like a god.
poor kitty :'(
hope she feels better soon
Feel better, Lily.
:-\
Hang in there Lil.
We have a Persian ('Bag') that turns 11 soon. He's healthy and all now, but I fear The Day things turn for the little guy.
Mitthing teeth ith no fun! Tho thory to hear about Lily kitteh's dental itthues!
She's a lucky kitteh to have you guyths! (thorry â€" couldn't help mythelf!) ;D
I'm think'n she just wanted an economic bailout from the tooth fairy.
she appears to be same-ol-lily..... just a lil lighter.
she thanks you all for the well wishes. (as do lm and myself :-* )
Sorry to hear it! Our gurls are still only six years old but the black one has developed serious food allergies and has to stick to a strict diet -- which unfortunately hasn't gotten through her thick little skull. Consequently, we have to buy not just freakishly expensive cat food but obscenely overpriced dog food because we can't find a way to keep her out of it (or dirty dishes, or plants, or mud tracked in the house, or, or, or...). Too bad for the dogs, as they eat it only under protest and really prefer the cheap brands.
Critters. Love 'em. Hope yours are feeling all perky again soon, BP!
Good thoughts going Lily's way!! She's such a lucky kitty to have such good parents!
Time to call Rachel Gilbert
