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!
Suggest best types of dry food they would like! I have one gummy shark with a voracious appetite but I worry sometimes the dry food I give her isn’t the best for her to eat. (I give her wet food too.)
This is the dry food we always have at home! Found at Lidl the ingredients are pretty good for dry cat food! Edit: it’s also pretty small kebble, they eat it without soaking it or cutting it
Once we were in Hamburg at the fish market and there was a guy who is a pet food and treats manufacturer. There we got them a 5kg bag of kebble and they absolutely loved it! Sadly I’ve forgotten the name or the brand :(
