We're all mad here.
I have a cat, Bailey, who will be three in May. He is an incredibly sweet animal and I love him to death. Despite trying to take good care of him and his teeth, he has worsening gingivitis. Recently, he has even started to drool. I brought him to the vet and she suggested a water additive or brushing several times a week. I tried brushing and it was a no-go, but I'm going to try again. I also tried a water additive, Petkin Liquid Oral Care, and he refused to drink the water even when I put a tiny amount in (I can smell it, so I figure he can).
I really don't know what to do other than continue to try to brush his teeth. I know that the vet offers teeth cleaning, but I'm not sure if that would only be a temporary fix. Does anyone have experience with this? I'm willing to dip deep in my savings if I must to save his teeth and mouth! I just want him to be happy and healthy.
PS: I am feeding him Purina's Indoor Formula (dry) and only give him hard cat treats.
