| | | Posted by IrishLady Our maine coon was a "found" cat and we were the only people willing to take him. Sadly he passed away due to heart disease last year. He was about 10.
| He looks like my Sammy. Just like him. Miss Meadow had a rare genetic disorder, she was allergic to her own dental plaque and the breeder didn't bother to take care of her. By the time we got her, it was too late, it had caused malignant lesions that spread to her brain. We had her teeth pulled and our vet thought she had it licked, since Meadow was eating very well and felt so much better for a while afterwards, but she began getting sicker and sicker over the next few months. She couldn't take care of herself, we had to have her shaved to a summer coat and for a while, she was great. Until Halloween of that year, when she had a stroke from a lesion in her brain and she passed away a few hours afterwards. It could have been stopped by just brushing her teeth once or twice a week, that's all it would have taken. I wish we could have gotten her sooner, she was barely three years old. Shael
