Max



Max, aka Maxie Man, Mr. Max, Max a million, Big Max and Big Brother. For about two months Max has been suffering with sores in his mouth. He's been to the vet many times. He's had antibiotics, and other medications to try to heal his mouth. Yesterday he went to the vet. As a last resort they were going to pull most of his teeth. Instead they pulled two molars in the back of his mouth that were really bad with the roots exposed and deteriorated. No wonder Max has not been feeling well and was not a happy cat. Hopefully this will cure the problem. Max is already feeling better...wanting to eat instead of running from the food bowl.

The vets couldn't really see the problem until they put him under and looked way in the back. The xrays helped, too. I'm just thankful that Max is returning to his regular grumpy old man self and not the sick one he has been.

Hope Max is feeling better; he is beautiful. I have a tuxedo cat, Velvet; very macho, but when I named him as a tiny kitten, I thought he was a she. By the time we realized, the name had stuck, but he seems ok with a slightly feminine name!

Hi Susan
I am glad that your cat is better and that you were safe from the fires. It was very scary to watch the pictures on TV.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.
Hugs, Rhondi

What a cutie. They're such a worry when they're sick. Mimi

I wish there were some site that would instantly send you info for your area if something pops up. It's a shame we have to dig for info!
