I can picture myself with one proud Flash strutting (aka hauling me) towards the realm of new people, Merlin tugging to go…no where in particular, just GO.  Our lovely Princess Zoe would no doubt be yipping, squealing, yapping, growling, barking and pulling in 53 different directions.  All while I roll a cart full of 7 cat carriers full of all sorts very stinky cat pee, vomit and crap.   Each carrier would be vibrating and shaking as hissing filled the air around us.  Oh how popular we’d be at the vet.  That would truly be a freaking nightmare of epic proportions.

I love my vet.

Oh, forgot to mention.  Poor Maca has been booked for her date with the dentist.  We’re looking at a full mouth tooth extraction.  If this doesn’t work, we’re screwed.

We talked about Maca and her illness.  She has a disease that affects her teeth and mouth, painfully.  She has ulcers and it is red and inflamed pretty much always.  We’ve been treating with antibiotics but that isn’t a cure, merely something to help lessen the pain.  I know he had been learning about it as I’m not his only client with a cat with the disease and he has come to the conclusion that there is only one cure that will fix it permanently.  It’s extreme but in her case with the severity of it, it does look like our only option.  He is going to refer us to a special dentist and we’ll look at having her teeth removed (yes all of them) as well as any diseased tissue.  Fun times ahead for Maca. 

The disease is called gingivitis stomatitis.  I’ve been having trouble finding too much information on it, all I’m coming up with are short paragraphs.  Hopefully this new vet will be able to give us more information.
