My baby cat is 15 with dental disease.
I know that she is elderly and bad teeth come She is being treated with antibiotics and syringe feeding since she won't eat on her own. The vet fully expects her to start eating on her own soon. Today she licked food from my hand for the first time. I will continue to treat her and pray that she eats more. She is my princess. I am hesitant to do a dental at her age. She has never been ill and is very confused that I am handling her in this way. She is not scared and is accepting the feeding and meds. She is not acting like herself and I 'm worried. I have some medical experience so I'm not nervous about handling her...but this is My baby!
