Help, senior cat vet
Hello,
I have a senior cat with a gum infection. My vet said it's too risky for a teeth cleaning and just gave him an antibiotic shot. It's been 2 weeks and he's still drooling a bunch. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good vet, maybe that specializes in dentistry?
A lot of people have said senior cat tooth extraction is an option and their cat lived for many more years after.
UPDATE: thank you everyone for the help. I got an appointment at Bayshore since they can see him the soonest and seem to be reputable. I was going to go with VDS but they couldn't see him until mid-November. I'll be sure to ask about x-rays and blood work before agreeing to anything.
