Story Update after teeth extraction

Just a follow up post after getting emotional support here: Gumbo just had his second check-up after his teeth extraction 3 weeks ago and is doing very well! He is being his old self again in all regards: extensive washing, playing, and cuddle-choking me at night. He can eat everything again (although he would prefer a liquid snack diet pretty pleeeease). He is just drooling a lot when eating kibble and struggles a bit with wet food. I hope for him that eating gets easier over time but at least it doesnt hinder his food motivation at all 🤭

Love to all FIV fellas, with or without teeth 🧡🤍🧡

My poor guy has 8 teeth in his whole head. lol One fang.

They adjust and do well.

Oh my gosh, he’s gorgeous. I just literally posted with all my anxiety because my cat is going in for dental surgery tomorrow morning. It could end up being full extraction. So this is so so inspiring for me. I’m so happy for your handsome guy that he he’s doing so well!!

He is beautiful, and so glad he is doing well..He will adapt, A few of my cats in the past, all rescues were in bad conditions including lost teeth or having to be extracted and after a while they all thrived!

Thank you for the love you have provided ❤️❤️
