They got the teeth removed because their body rejected their teeth. They aren’t even brothers. One is the result of a friend‘s outside cat getting pregnant before the castration appointment, the other one we just found at 2 weeks old, scared, behind the brakes of my dad‘s car. They’re without any teeth since they are about 1 year old, so we all are pretty used to it.
The removal is a long story, the short version is that the old vet wanted to sell us special food and inject the cats monthly, the new vet told us about the possibile ways to treat it, naming risks and benefits as well.
Funny enough, the day they got their vaccines the doctor got a new x-ray machine for heads and he exitedly x-rayed the cats for free to test the machine - further showing that a removal of the teeth was necessary.
Anyway - if you‘re having problems with a toothless ambush predator, or want some infos due to an upcoming dental procedure - please just ask!
Autoimmune was the word! Thank you! Yes, this is what mine have too!
Due to them having lost their teeth at such a young age of 1 and 1.5 years the vet said they will be good for the rest of their lives!
Crazy to hear that all of them had the same problem! Send your kitty some cuddles from me! She‘s definitely a good girl!
