Y’all!! Meet Edmund. He has been with us since he was about 6 weeks old. He will be 2 next April.
For a while he lived at the cat lounge. He was sweet and cuddly, loved to play. But then we started noticing that he was grooming properly, he was losing weight and becoming quite grumpy. After a visit to the vet, he was diagnosed with stomatitis. He was very young to receive that diagnosis. It is a gum disease which was causing him a lot of pain in his mouth. Hence the not grooming and weight loss due to not eating.
I brought him home with me to recover and start researching. It had been recommended that he have his teeth extracted. Because the is so young, I don’t want to put him through that. And for the ones that have followed us a while, we lost Silence due to the same diagnosis during her teeth extraction procedure. Losing her, broke my heart and I just couldn’t think about putting Edmund through the same thing. So I started researching and found a pharmacy that was compounding medicine to help the symptoms and/or possibly cure the disease. We decided to do the trial run.
Edmund has been in the medicine for 2 months and went for his checkup yesterday.
We received good and bad news. 1st, he has gained 3 pounds 🎉 2nd, his gums look a lot better and the front teeth between his canines look great. Now for the bad news- his back teeth have resorptive lesions. The vet explained it like cavities on steroids. Several of his teeth have roots showing and basically just holes in them. Sooooo, unfortunately he is still going to need some extractions. Not gonna lie, it scares me, but the thought of him continuing to have mouth pain is not acceptable. Once he heals from the extractions, he should be able to live a normal life and be his fun, loving self again.
And if you’ve read all of this, you know this is where we need your help. Rescue is hard. We could NOT do this without your support. If you can help in any way, even $1 will add up. We appreciate you all so much.
