Little Foot's Tooth Extraction
Donation protected
Little Foot needs dental work!
During a general wellness exam, my vet discovered tooth resorption on one of Little Foot's premolars. (This site provides more info on tooth resorption, but what causes tooth resorption in cats is still unknown: http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?c=1+2121&aid=380) Basically, there is a lesion at her gumline, and it's pretty painful (even though she's always putting on a straight face for me. I have a feeling she's been taking it out on Kara.)
The vet provided me an estimate for $565-906 dollars, which includes bloodwork, general anesthesia, x-rays, dental cleaning, and followup medication. This estimate is for one tooth--and I'm crossing my fingers that the x-rays don't show resorption on other teeth, too! The vet said her teeth look healthy overall--and they'd probably better if she would chew (instead of inhale) her dental treats. :/
I don't want Little Foot to be in pain, so she'll receive treatment no matter how this GoFundMe campaign goes. But I'm also in the middle of getting married and trying to immigrate to Canada, so this really isn't an expense I can afford right now. Owen offered to try to pull the tooth himself, but that doesn't really seem like a great idea. Any help you'd like to give us would be appreciated!
