This is smudge. She is a diabetic cat who has been visiting the Sutton Courtney cat clinic for many years. She has had her ups and downs,including suffering from hyperthyroidism a couple of years ago which was treated with surgery.
Today she visited for a check up, but she has lost some weight recently and has a reduced appetite. Her diabetes is under control, but when Sarah examined her mouth she found that 2 of smudge's remaining 3 teeth had neck lesions or cavities. These can be very painful and are most likely why smudge is not eating as much as before.
We have booked smudge in for an anaesthetic to remove her sore teeth on Monday. We will keep you posted as to how she gets along.
