Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / April 2008Dark brown tooth...
Felix was shaking his head a lot last night, so I put some drops in his bad ears. Within an hour, he settles down after the drops... but not last night. So I did my usual poking and prodding when one of my furkids acts funny. With a lot of fuss, I finally got a look at his back teeth. The upper right back tooth is brown... dark brown. And his breath is a little more than funky. It's odd tho' b/c I know this didn't happen over night and Felix LOVES to cuddle when I'm in bed. He likes to lay on my pillow with his head next to mine. I would think that his breath would've been noticed before last night!! Anyway.. my vet is out of town, but his replacement can see Felix on Monday, and if (probably so) the tooth has to be removed, my vet will be back by then for it. The good news is if Felix has the tooth removed, I will have a deep ear cleaning done while he's under the anesthesia. His ears need all the help they can get!!

The tooth may well be a _cause_ or at least an aggravator for the ear problem. So losing the tooth and getting that deep ear cleaning may lead to his improvement all around. -- Will in New Haven Yeah it's a possibilty, but most definitely the tooth will need to come out. a discolored tooth usually means the pulp inside the tooth has degraded. And lemme know if when the tooth comes out if the ear get better. Purrs for you, Krys > Yeah it's a possibilty, but most definitely the tooth will need to > come out. [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Krys I've posted several times about Felix's ears. He has non-cancerous tumors growing in both ears... the left is much worse than the right. He had over $3,000.00 worth of surgery in the left ear removing the tumors, but they grew back within months. I only wish they would get better when/if the tooth is removed!! Unfortunately, he is slowly going deaf.

Laurie, that is so sad t hear :( When you take him in, please ask about the kitty/doggie toofpaste I mentioned in an earlier thread. PUUUUUUURS for Felix to feel better.

And deaf cats are just as sweet and cuddly. Of course their fellow house cats can be having an all out brawl nearby and he'd be just fast asleep....... Recently we had a cat come in like that. He had gotten a bite wound on his flank because his buddies got into a fight and literally landed ON him. Poor guy was asleep one second and the next had two more right on TOP of him. Keep us posted about the tooth. Krys The hearing cat at my sons house is hissing and trying to get in the room where Mamma cat is. The deaf cat Mr. Lewi has his paws on the french doors and is meowing at her. She isn't afraid of him. She comes and sits close to the glass and he sits and they talk. She may be calling him names because he is a male but it is cute anyway!!! > Ah I'm so sorry, I had forgotten about the real issue with the > ears.....Well at least they are non-cancerous.

But he will feel better when it is over and done with. Amazing sometimes what they can hide from us.

SignatureAdrian (Owned by Snoopy & Bagheera) Cats leave pawprints on your heart http://community.webshots.com/user/clowderuk Purrs for an *uneventful* tooth removal. And I agree with Kristi who thought it was possible that having the tooth out might help his ears. The two are closely connected, and if there's an infection in the tooth, it could spread to the ear. In any case, hope he's feeling better soon!
