hello all, i am new to the board. I welcome and appreciate any advice. I adopted a Maine Coon cat from a reputable breeder around 3 months ago. She was born on July 31, 2004 so she's not quite a year old. Whenever I received her, i was giving her herbal medicine (don't know the name)b/c she had surgery in January for a broken leg and her vet had prescribed the medication. I haven't taken her to my own vet b/c when i got her i received her shot record and a clean bill of health from January 04.
Anyways, Her breath has smelled badly since i got her and I thought it was probably due to those pills, but she has been off of them for 2.5 months and her breath still stinks! I looked in her mouth the other day and It seems that the teeth right behind her canines are just barely coming in. I know that this breed grows slowly, but is this normal? Could a tooth problem be causing her breath to stink? I feed her a 3 oz can of wet iams and then she also eats iams dry food. Her breath smells nothing like either of these. She also has no problem eating the dry food...i.e. it doesn't seem to bother her teeth if she does have a tooth problem. Please advise. Thanks!!! :)
