Gracie the black and white cat was at our Somerville Clinic for a dental procedure. Gracie had marked gingivostomatitis and needed multiple teeth extracted. She enjoyed being bundled up warm during her recovery in hospital. We are happy to report that since her procedure she has recovered very well and now has a happy and healthy mouth.

Feline gingivostomatitis is a chronic and painful inflammatory disease of the mouth that affects some cats. It is characterized by severe inflammation of the gums and oral tissues, often extending beyond what we typically see with routine dental disease.

Clinical signs may include:
✔️ Red, inflamed gums and oral tissues
✔️ Drooling, sometimes with blood
✔️ Halitosis (bad breath)
✔️ Difficulty chewing, dropping food, or reduced appetite
✔️ Weight loss
✔️ Pawing at the mouth or signs of oral discomfort

This condition is thought to result from an abnormal immune response to plaque bacteria, and while it can be challenging to manage, there are treatment options available. These may include medical management, regular dental care, and in many cases, extraction of teeth to reduce inflammation and pain.

📌 Early veterinary intervention is essential—prompt diagnosis and treatment can significantly improve quality of life and comfort for affected cats.

If your cat is showing any of the above signs, please contact our clinic to schedule an examination.

🐾 Meet our pets Monday -September 🐾
This month we meet nurse Belinda’s 3 amigos!

My pretty peaceful household consists of 2 dogs and a cat, all the very best of friends. Starting with Ruby, adopted by my teenage kids while I was on holiday in Singapore! She's an absolute gem of a dog, settled straight in like we had always had her. She's around 7 now but I'm guessing she could be older with her little grey muzzle. Scooby came to us through a rescue group when he was 16 weeks old and he's now coming up for 4. He's a dachshund so definitely has his little sausage dog quirks. He and the cat are the ultimate besties. Monty the burmese found me when he was 10 years old and is now 15. His monthly arthritis injections keep him running around, he's definitely the boss of the house and my secret favourite ❤️

Case of the month- August in lieu of “ dental month” is Lilly the Teacup Chihuahua

Lilly saw Dr Mike about a swollen face. During his examination Dr Mike discovered she had a tooth root abscess, an infection at the tip of the root of the tooth, that was causing not just the swelling, but pain as well.

Dr Jacq had the job of removing the diseased tooth. She was the perfect Chihuahua for the day and has recovered from her procedure really well.

Her Mum was so happy she sent in a few words of thanks for the team some of which we have shared below.

“ I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you for the incredible care you gave Lilly my chihuahua during her recent dental surgery. The difference in her is absolutely remarkable — it’s like we have a new dog!

At nearly 10 years old, we never expected such a transformation. She's happier, more energetic, and eating better than ever before. It’s clear she was in discomfort before, and seeing her now so full of life has been such a joy for us.

We truly feel like you’ve given us our girl back — and we couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you for your skill, your kindness, and for changing all our lives for the better”

Dental disease is one of the most common medical conditions we see in pets, Unfortuantly, they are very good at hiding their discomfort as they continue eating even with a really sore mouth. Some of the signs of dental disease are:
🦷Pawing at the mouth
🦷Teeth chattering
🦷Head shaking
🦷Bad breath
🦷Drooling
🦷Not eating hard food

Early signs of dental disease include inflammation of the gums (gingivitis) - if left unchecked this spreads deeper into the tooth socket destroying the bone around the tooth resulting in loosening of the tooth. This is why your vet will discuss cleaning your pets teeth regularly to stop the disease process and allow your pet to retain as many teeth as possible over their life time.

If you are concerned about your pets dental health, please call the clinic on 5979 1214 to make an appointment for one of our vets to assess your pets mouth and discuss dental care
