We have a British Blue cat called Walnut - I know some of you have seen pics of her already - she is a beautiful cat.
3 years ago she was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy (enlarged heart) and they said she may only live 2 years. Well with medication 3 times a day she is still going well bless her.
Anyway she has really bad teeth and gums and we went to the vets tonight and he said she really really needs them looking at under general anesthetic and descaling etc. Her gums are all red and swollen too.
We are left with such a dilemma here as she needs them doing (apparently they can make the heart condition worse if not treated) but the anesthetic could kill her cos of the heart condition.
She is an old girl now - 12 years old.
We have no idea what to do. If we lost her after putting through all that we would be devastated but if we don't do anything and her teeth get worse then it can't be much fun for her either with the discomfort she must have.
Any wise words of wisdom from any cat lovers here please.
Thanks
