16. It's affecting younger cats quite a bit.

It used to be primarily something that older cats faced, but veterinarians are seeing it more and more in younger cats, some under one year of age. It is not an infectious disease passed from cat to cat, as you know, of course.

Although some vets believe there is something that transmits because they've all come across genetically unrelated cats in households where several experience the disease.

There is a medicine out of China under scrutiny right now called Mutoral. Some people swear by it as far as helping their cats, but my vet says it's snake oil. Guess time will tell. Would be wonderful if they could find a cure like they have for FIP.

Oh, yes. We've had 4 cats afflicted with this. Different ages, different breed. 3catwoman3 Jun 10 #11

Yes. It is... There may be a genetic predilection in cats, but not shown to be in humans... hlthe2b Jun 10 #10

I once had a molar which had cracked. The pulp eventually resorbed, leaving a bone-and-enamel shell. John1956PA Jun 10 #7

Do you happen to know if this was "internal" or "external" resorption? hamsterjill Jun 10 #9

I was not as used as to its nature regarding external versus interval. John1956PA Jun 10 #17
