Sorry to hear this, BA.

I was the same, didn't like cats, until one came with my eventual wife.

I have 2 now that I would walk through hell for.

One was due to a cavity bu the other two were because of the condition you mentioned. I think there is a treatment for it if caught early enough but I believe extraction is fairly common. Single day at the vet, cat get a shot of morphine, goes under propofol (same as if getting a dental cleaning). Should be okay if your cat has no severe cardiac issues. Then 3-6 days of pain meds, antibiotics, and 10 days of soft food at home. The bill was only $1200.00. Boy, do I love our cat.

Thanks. That was the type of input I was looking for.

I thought this thread was going to be about shitting on cat owners. Sorry, I'll see my way out.
