They ate pigeons, as the property was home to huge flocks of pigeons (Albany itself is overrun with pigeons, ducks and morning doves) almost exclusively, and rodents. Most kittens did not survive due to starvation.Strayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08124298302997708537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29172782.post-30780734054400883002014-09-24T11:53:10.298-07:002014-09-24T11:53:10.298-07:00I doubt they are.

Gretal was extremely ill when I rescued her, after she was dumped by someone denied by Safehaven, but with intestinal parasites, giardia, etc, not URI. I have seen a link between poor to no nutrition when a kitten (including untreated intestinal parasites) and young age dental issues. And that would be true for almost every cat here, so that may be the root cause.

When I read about resorption, says it mainly attacks premolars. But with what Poppy and Gretal had, the vet said the teeth have to all be pulled down to every bit of root. So are these two different things?

I read that this is more common in female cats; symptoms, at least for me, were really bad breath, head shaking and excessive sleeping.kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05267517011364935034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29172782.post-85619764306602021072014-09-17T22:53:19.360-07:002014-09-17T22:53:19.360-07:00The whiners always win, EC.

No drooling, like the cats I've had who have the allergy to the lining of their teeth.
