Stinker got his last vaccination the other day and it was a different vet than had seen him previously so he gave him a good look over.
Everything is fantastic, except his gums. It seems his gums are a little red and swollen toward the back of his mouth and I asked if he was going to need a cleaning soon. He suggested that I brush the teeth and massage his gums regularly, but that his teeth look beautiful. He told me that some cats are just prone to such problems more than others and that he wouldn't need to worry about a cleaning for at least a year or maybe more.
I had bought some Logic Gel to use for the cats hoping I could avoid having to deal with brushing and now Stinker is has come up with a reason for me to have to do it anyway.
I have some dental cleaning pads on hand so I used one of those last night to clean and massage. I'm sure I will get a little less clumsy with repetition.
I think those cats just have a conspiracy to make sure I have to observe all the little details of their personal care with no breaks.
