Liz, there are issues iwth that, such as my vet being a lot more expensive than the rescues vet, and with what they have just paid out, money is tight already, so I will probably pay myself. Rescue lady has spoken to the vets, apparently he only had the one tooth that needed to come out!! And that smelly breath is normal in cats. Quite ironic then that I Can see the probs in these teeth and I ain't a vet, nor do I look at a lot of cats teeth, and his breath cleared up after 2 days on Antirobe!! Worryingly, the rescue lady hadnt' heard of antirobe, so I doubt the rescues vet ever use it. And, I think I have figured the teeth issue out, my vet will look at the fact it is an older cat and a charity, and take out as much as they can while they are under (I have had cats go for other things and had teeth taken out cos they check them all - Tiger only went for an x-ray and came back one tooth lighter and with a scale), whereas the rescue's vet obviously dont, I have said I dont think they know what htey are doing dental wise - they also recommended steroids, when Glasgow and Dr Addie tell you not to use them. I need to ring my vets today to get some stronger stuff for his ears, as they are still a problem, the rescue are fine about me pickign it up from mine, not sure how she will like the bills on Sat though, it cost me £32 last week for his consult, abs and eye cream!! And he didn't have an eye prob before his dental, and we have already paid for 2 lots of abs for him. Once we can get his ears sorted, I am going to put him on the rehoming page, and see what response we get, and his dental will be left till either one tooth causes him an issue, or he finds a home, I want to leave it as long as possible between the two anaesthetics if I can. So, need to start thinking of a good way of 'advertising' him.
