We took in a stray kitten back in March. I took her into the vet the next morning and she was overall, in good health. She was very under-weight for her age, had an upper-respiratory infection, and had borderline malnutrition and inflamed gums. She has been doing very well. She gained weight and the upper respiratory infection cleared up, but her gums were still very inflamed. We just had her to the Animal Rescue Leage to be spayed and she came home today and they said she has SEVERE gingivitis and told us to follow-up with our regular vet. Back when we first took her into the vet, she had said that her inflamed gums may be due to the fact that she had a hard start to life and a poor diet. But it has since gotten worse and the tech at the Rescue League said they have seen cats have all of their teeth pulled because of ginigivitis because there isn't really anything they can do. Brushing will make her gum bleed. Has anyone else had this problem with their kitty? Advice please!!!
