Re: Ive got a dilemma

I think it has to be about quality of life v the risk. Its a very very hard decision and only one that you can really make. Any anaesethic is a risk, but I would think I would rather risk that and have her slip away without knowing anything about it than a life of discomfort unable to enjoy any food, but thats just my opinion. Cats do cope wonderfully with no teeth and if she pulls through she will probably have a new lease of life. If her heart liver and kidney function are fine and she is strong in every other way, I would say she has every chance.

A/D is very good high calorie soft pate type food, you can get it online or from the vets. If you add some warm water to it she should be able to lap that up with no need for chewing.
