Hi, I recently became the owner of 2 stray cats and I had them spayed, dewormed etc the works. I had a follow up with one of my cats where I ran some blood work to make sure she didn’t have cancer and all in all she’s a healthy girl.
She does have a little bit of gingivitis though. It does not seem to bother her and the vet did not seem too concerned when telling me. I went home and did some research and the best way to treat this is to brush my cats teeth and get them cleaned professionally. I’m not at all opposed to getting it done professionally however at the moment I would like to avoid the cost if I can. I would have no problem brushing her teeth but she is still very nervous and runs from me a lot .Is there anything I can do to treat this at home?
We just adopted a cat, and during her first exam the vet told us she has gingivitis. In addition to brushing, she recommended giving her Hill's Science Diet: oral care. You just give them like 3 pellets with their normal food (doesn't replace normal food because it's very high in calories). It's been a couple of weeks, and her breath is significantly less stinky, so it seems like it's working
