my 11y.o. male cat recently had a bout with ARF about 3 weeks ago. whats great is that he made a successful recovery from it and the vet said with 100% certainty that my cat isn't chronic and has regained normal kidney functions with whatever is left of his kidneys after the ARF. my cat also lost about 2 pounds during the week he was sick. (he was 15 pounds before)



since he's been home he has slowly improved getting more interested in playing, and he's pretty much back to the same active cat he was before ARF but he seems to be having a lot of trouble eating. he's interested in eating but when he starts eating he only eats a few bites of dry food or licks the wet food then starts excessively licking to one side of his mouth and will grind his teeth too. he'll eat more wet food when i hand feed him. but he still seems to have a lot of trouble chewing. i know he needs dental work but i'm curious if his teeth are the problem. he didn't really have any difficulty eating before his ARF.
