Thanks Gillian. I found that on google but didn't know how safe it was.

So a small bottle is around £5.00 excluding P&P?

This product is brilliant http://www.eyeenvy.com/ - there is just one distibutor in the UK, but you just phone and order and they usually send next day. I know it says for eyes - but it will work on any staining - anywhere!

Yep, emailed my tutor for my feline psych course - she says it sounds like he's having problems with his teeth or gums. He's prone to gingivitis too, so it's possible.

Have called the vet and he's ringing me back after he's finished surgery. I'm scared to take LJ in for work on his teeth though, because he's so underweight and only just started his fortekor.

Thanks Bazsmum.

When Clapton was sick, his white legs got very discoloured but after his teeth came out and he started feeling better, they gradually improved. He is Daz white now  :-:

I know, I keep looking at him and trying not to cry. He's only been on the fortekor a week so I know it's too soon to see any improvement but I hope there is one.

He's so lovely and it's so unfair that he keeps getting all these serious illnesses.

sorry, don't really know but would the vet not know of some safe shampoo or mild soap that you could use to keep his chin and legs clean? As long as wetting him to clean him doesn't make him stressed? If he then licks and licks to 'get rid of it' he may get dehydrated. Poor wee LJ.

LJs drooling is marking his chin and legs. I want to clean him so he isn't all sticky and stained - what's the best thing to use?
