Tooth brushing isn’t going well so far. Melbcat’s gums are inflamed and sore so she pulls away. I’ve ordered some oral gel that can be applied with swabs (their version of mouthwash) which should hopefully soothe the gingivitis down so I can go back to trying the brush.
The dental cleaning food and treats all contain chicken so I’m trying to give her pieces of freeze dried meat as treats instead of the ones that contain sugar. (Which is otherwise the only kind she can eat.)
I need to clean but am not feeling great. It almost feels like it doesn’t matter too -_-
