The past couple days I have noticed that Walter wasn't his normal self. I kept telling my husband that he looked depressed. Does that make sense? He is usually such a cheerful free spirit, but lately his eyes have been so sad, and he's been moving slower.
Tonight as we were getting dinner ready, I noticed that his breath was really stinky. When I was in high school I had a cat die b/c of an abscessed tooth, so I got worried and looked in his mouth. I noticed that one of his tiny front teeth was missing, so I investigated further and it looks like the tooth somehow got shoved into the gum behind his teeth. It might not be that, but that is what it looks like.
I can tell he is in pain. We are taking him to the vet tomorrow, but is there anything I can give him for pain until then? I'm sure you will probably tell me no, but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask anyway. I just hate leaving him in pain.
