Biggie is a 5YO MN FIV+ kitty who had severe stomatitis and was rescued by @senanimalrescue_usa. His mouth was rotting. He needed full mouth extractions.
This is what @senanimalrescue_usa had to say about Vets in Vans: “Biggie was surrendered. He tested positive for FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus), have had a long history of ringworm, and was diagnosed with gingivitis and severe periodontal disease. This poor cutie have had so much on his plate! Many thanks to Dr.Park & Nosheen for the full mouth dental extractions, to Marissa, Vanessa, and everyone involved who helped to make sure that Biggie’s state is good for the surgery. The amazing team did all required blood work, took X-rays and all measures. Thankfully, cats can live a full, normal life without teeth. Indeed, having no teeth is always preferable to living in pain with diseased teeth, and inflamed gums.
Everything is going great actually! Biggie is doing really really well and I’d say he’s even more active than before!!! He takes his medicine fairly easily and has a good appetite and I haven’t seen any blood in his saliva. But his mouth does look really good, the sutures look good and he’s still just as cute, of course!
Thanks to the compassionate team of @vetsinvans - they were able to take us in for their stellar affordable care! I came 30 mins before their official opening and got to see how harmoniously they all together set up tents, tables, kennels, their space, sanitized, and got ready for another life-saving day on their mission to help as many animals in our community as possible. Indeed, was I impressed by their team of hardworking professionals, you could see their great enthusiasm and passion in what they do!”
We’re so happy that we were able to help that adorable face! Thank you @eastbayspca for allowing us to rent your dental space and equipment. Without their generosity, dentals would not be possible.
Good luck Biggie! We wish you the best!
