We got back from a weekend away yesterday and, as usual, Harry made a huge fuss of us. I gave him some of his favourite biscuits but he seemed reluctant to eat them so I put it down to the fact he'd eaten more biscuits than wet food while we were away.
The same thing happened later on so we took him to the vet this morning to have his teeth checked, as this is how we noticed his last infection. She checked him over and he's in good shape, including his gums and remaining teeth, but his jaw is unstable. The vet is looking into the possibility of a permanent wire or screw in the jaw, but this probably won't be possible because of the damage to his jaw from the infection.
What does he need to do to have a change of luck? He's absolutely fine in himself so there's no question of PTS but I am worried about the future. He's 12 years old so not young but not old theses days either. We're switching him to wet food only so the budget will take a hit but that's neither here nor there, he just won't be happy without his biscuits as he prefers them to wet food.
I'm don't really know why I've posted this, I think I just needed to share with fellow cat lovers!
