Happy Friday folks!🌈

Unfortunately, staff pets need procedures sometimes too.☹️

Lovely Laura's gorgeous girl Nina had some dental work performed towards the back end of last year.🦷

She had feline odontoclastic resorptive lesions (FORLs).
🤔What are FORLs (we hear you ask)?

FORLs occur due to cells called odontoclasts destroying the surface of the tooth. It starts beneath the gum line gradually dissolving the root of the affected tooth and continues inside the tooth to the crown. This leaves the pulp cavity exposed and can be extremely painful.😰 This resorption continues until fractures can occur. It is extremely common and affects more than a third of adult cats! The cause is actually unknown.

Cats are extremely good at hiding pain so if you notice your cat is perhaps eating a little slower, choosing to chew one side more than the other, or preferring wet food over dry, it may be they have dental pain.☹️ Some cats will stop eating completely, or have excessive salivation, weight loss or swelling around the mouth.

Dental radiographs are vital when determining FORLs and the only treatment is extraction. This can be very tricky as the teeth become quite fragile and can fracture.

Vet John took three radiographs of Nina’s mouth and extracted three teeth. Everything went smoothly, she had some lovely pain relief, and got herself all settled at home by the fire with her best friend Perry.🥰

They are both extremely photogenic.😻

Hope you all have a lovely weekend.🐾 ... See MoreSee Less
