I have a 13 yr old cat that vet said has bad plaque (or tartar, don't recall) buildup in a far back tooth. It's infected and, he said, should be extracted. If not, the infection will probably keep coming back. I'm absolutely terrified of putting my old gal under anesthesia and am trying to figure out if there are any other options.
I'm so upset at myself for not being more proactive with her dental health. My first cat had such good teeth, that I didn't realize it could become on issue. I have since purchased several feline dental care products (including mini toothbrush), but am wondering if this will do anything to help. I just want to try anything and everything before I go for the extraction. I've had a rough year and don't need to deal with another loss right now....
Any tips, pointers are appreciated.
