My cat Binx is almost 11 months old. He’s always had awful breath, and I’ve noticed his teeth have lots of brown tartar build up on them....already. He had a really bad start to life and almost died as a kitten from a really bad flea infestation before we got him (he was a rescue). He spent a week in the hospital trying to live. He had all sorts of testing done before he was put up for adoption to make sure he was healthy. When we got him, his leg fur was shaved due to getting another blood test to make sure he was all good in every way.
He’s due for a rabies vaccine, so I’m going to get the vet to look at his teeth. I’m quite concerned because his breath is horrendous and his teeth are yellowing with the brown tartar build up. I’m completely fine with paying to have him sedated and having a good teeth cleaning done....I feel that might be a regular thing for us. Kaia’s teeth are white as can be and no bad breath and she’s just a couple months younger.
Is it possible for cats to just be genetically predisposed to having bad teeth? Poor Binx.
