Dental disease is the most frequently diagnosed health problem for pets. Dogs and cats are particularly prone to tooth and gum diseases. An astounding 80 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats show signs of oral disease by age 3, according to the American Veterinary Dental Society.
Normal teeth in both cats and dogs should be white or just a little yellow. Gums should be light pink and smooth (except in breeds with pigmented gums).
Oral disease begins with a build up of plaque and tartar in your pet’s mouth. Without proper preventive and therapeutic care, plaque and tartar buildup leads to periodontal disease, which manifests in red and/or swollen and tender gums, bad breath, and bleeding. When the gums are swollen, they can be painful – a good rule of thumb is that if it looks like it might be painful, it probably is. Pets are masters at masking pain – when in doubt, assume that your pet is experiencing at least some discomfort.

Question :
I have a male cat named Java. I know he’s part Siamese but not full. I
know he’s at least 3 years old. He has been getting skinny, doesn’t eat
( we tried giving him soft food and even milk, but doesn’t eat it), He
drinks a little bit of water here and there. We took him to the vet a month and
a half ago and they removed some of his teeth and gave him some pink,
amoxi-drops to take. He seemed to get a tiny bit better, but now he has gotten
worse. What can we do? The Vet didn’t seem to help him much and we
can’t afford to keep sending him to the vet when they can’t correct the
problem. Can you help?
