[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 639790, member: 1963"] Just got back. Thomas was so petrified he was like a wet dishrag. He spent the whole time trying to crawl into my shirt! He has a yeast infection in his left ear. The vet cleaned it and I have drops to put in it 2x daily. His heart and lungs are fine, and the rest of the physical exam was good. I get the results of the blood work tomorrow. Got some bad news on his teeth though. The vet is hoping they can save a FEW teeth. She is seeing a lot of decay around the roots that I didn't know enough to see. She feels that he has never had any dental care. "Red factor" (Cream or "orange") cats are prone to gingivitis, it's a genetic thing, and they require good and frequent dental care. Thomas has terrible gingivitis. She was able to do a pretty thorough exam on him, and several of his remaining teeth are loose and will have to be pulled. She's not sure about the big molars. She is hoping she can save those. If those have to go, he will have to eat soft food from here on out. I was horrified when I looked in his mouth and it turns out it's worse than I thought it was. He is scheduled, assuming the blood work is OK, for a dental on the 24th. Other than that, he howled all the way to the vet and all the way back home. My ears are still ringing! [/QUOTE]
