I have a neutered 15 month old Maine Coon boy, Killian. I will admit that I do not brush his teeth. I had given him a bath the other day and caught sight of his gums as he was yowling at me. Bright red and inflamed around every tooth. He does not drool and he eats his hard kitty food without any issues. He loves to lick my face when I'm in bed and he does not have foul breath - he has normal kitty breath. Vet appt is in the morning and I did some online searches and most all of what I found looks bad - like I could be facing longterm teeth issues and most likely the loss of all teeth. He eats the Trader Joe's brand of cat food and he gets daily vitamins and some salmon oil on his food. He looks the picture of health except for his gums. He is strictly indoors and he's never had any issue since I bought him as a 4 month old kitten. I'm worried about my little guy since he is just the most awesome cat I have ever had and I am on a waiting list with another breeder for another Maine Coon kitten. He is my first purebred cat, only had shelter specials before him. Any advice?
