This is Mage. Mage had a rare double #8 molar. This is the long, compound tooth at the rear of a cat's lower jaw. Having two of these massive teeth crammed in side-by-side was causing him incredible pain and reduced his weight by half due to a pure liquid diet. Mage's family could not afford the full cost of the surgical options presented to them by local vets. We took on the mission.
Rad Pets met the challenge head-on. Mage has been relieved of several teeth and has had the rest lovingly assessed for stability. The staff carefully explained the x-rays and procedure he had undergone. They gave him everything he would need to stay comfortable as he heals.
Mage is not on the same page
I get it. His mouth is now a very sensitive subject. Poor lad loses his fluffy mind when it's med time. Purrito is the only answer. Honestly, he is massively dramatic about it. It's a mix of sad and funny. Let me know if you want a video of med time!
We want to extend our deepest gratitude to Rad Pets in Corvallis for getting him in sooner than anyone, having the most reasonable rates, and working seamlessly with rescues to end his oral-deal!
We also thank all of you, our supporters, who have contributed to the ongoing support of cats in our care, and to special care projects like Mage. This is why we need you! Please continue to get your friends and family to add us as their charity of choice at Fred Meyers. Consider donating a bag of cans for a cat to have a better life. These little acts make a huge difference for us.
Send Mage some love, he is SO mad at me.
