Cat had all her teeth removed.

Woodsman · Jun 3, 2009

I brought my cat in for a teeth cleaning and examine. She is 6-7 years old and we adopted her about 8 months ago We knew she had bad teeth after her first vet examined so some extractions were expected . She is always a happy cat, but would react if you touched her mouth.

The doctor said she was missing some teeth and the rest of her teeth were in bad shape. I know she was missing her bottom canines. He also said that a few of the teeth had a chance of surviving, but they didn't have the opposite teeth to bite against so he thought it was best to remove them all.

Has anyone else had a cat this young that needed all their teeth removed?

I've never met a cat with no teeth, but I have met a dog who needed all of his taken out. He adjusted very well to having no teeth, even beginning to eat hard food again. I think he was about 10 when they removed the last of his teeth, and he lived to be 15 or so (he passed on from a totally unrelated issue).

I think we have members here whose cats have had all their teeth removed. I **think** Heidi has one. They do just fine. Cinderella has bad teeth. She had four teeth removed at her first cleaning, but they were the tiny ones down in front. I was told she may have to have a couple more removed last time, but they got in there and they were okay, for now.

My Tucker had stomatitis and had all but two of his canines removed. He did very well eating and it was obvious that he did not have as much mouth pain after the gums healed.
