My cat got bartonella which caused this condition and had to have all his teeth removed. Prior to the surgery he was in absolute misery, and the only treatment was steroids that did little and aren't meant for longtime use. The surgery was several thousand dollars, out of reach for a lot of families. An effective treatment for this condition would be great!
- hycaria 4y agoUS I imagine ? It’s a few hundreds here.
- treme 4y agocurious, how is your cat doing post-surgery? I imagine it required a significant dietary change
- potatosalad1 4y agoStrangely enough it didn't, he still eats dry cat food and just crunches it with his gums a little. He is totally fine now aside from sometimes looking a little derpy with his gums
- pmoriarty 4y ago"The surgery was several thousand dollars, out of reach for a lot of families." Wouldn't pet health insurance cover it?
- pxx 4y agoPet health insurance isn't an expected value positive sort of thing. There are often annual maxima as low as a couple thousand dollars.
