Thread: Temporarily Feeding Raw for Juvenile Gingivitis

Thanks Antonia for your reply.

I tried the gauze and Tequila didn't like it. He shuffled away from me. He's okay with just me rubbing his teeth with my finger but I am not entirely convinced it is cleaning his teeth but it's better than nothing.

Although it is only a wing/neck or gizzard we will be feeding them, my dh and I are still concerned with the bacteria that comes associated with feeding raw. I know through in depth reading, cats have stomach acids to breakdown the bacteria and with their short digestive system, the bacteria can't activate or fester, if that makes sense. In one end, out the other. It's not like if they are in the wild they would know whether their prey has bugs or not. LOL!
