Yeah!! I made it 150 days. That's a lot of socks! And I still have a lot more to go :)
Had to take to Miles to the vet today. He somehow managed to break his only remaining upper canine tooth. He broke the last one in the summer of 2009. I can't figure out how he does it. The prognosis isn't good. He doesn't appear to be in pain, which is good. But the tooth can't stay broken forever. Bacteria will get in it and his gums will get infected. So the tooth needs to be pulled or he needs a root canal. The vet reccomends the root canal so he can still have at least a piece of an upper tooth instead of none. Cats don't use those teeth for much. Tearing meat mostly, but also it's the only way for him to pick up food or toys. Really the teeth are used to put/keep anything in his mouth. Whatever I choose it's not going to be cheap. I need to call some speciatly vets tomorrow to get prices on the root canal. Ugh!
My poor boy!! Since this injury is rare in indoor cats, he may just have weak teeth. Or he's just super klutzy like him Mom since the tooth is usually broken cause of banging into something. Probably a combination of both. Whatever am I going to do with my Miles!!
No updates in the past week? Have you not been wearing socks?
