In 2025 Jinx was diagnosed with gingivitis so he was prescribed medication to help with it which he had been on daily ever since as well as getting his teeth brushed daily. I took him again about 2 weeks ago as i noticed he had bad breath and his gums were inflammed not matter what i was doing for him and he was diagnosed with mild case of stomatitis. The vet did say in the future he may need teeth extractions but because they don't do dental xrays there was not much really they could do. I decided to look for private vets near me and found one that is a cat only vets ( the price ranges too from £400 all the way up to £1400 which will be coming out of my own money as his insurance won't cover with it being a pre-existing condition ) but they wasn't accepting new patients only doing referrals which my vets gladly sent his details over. I was accepted as a referral case today and got a call from them with him having an appointment in 2 weeks time and i wasn't sure what was going to happen as he will be there from 9am till 5pm getting his xray done and maybe even having some teeth or even his whole teeth extracted i am not sure what they are going to do in that time frame which i am so scared about but i know if he has stomatitis even though he doesn't show like he's in any discomfort he might be and getting extractions are the best option. I am in two minds whether i am doing the right thing for him, he is my whole world. Any fellow sphynx owners gone through this before?
