So I got this cat, his name is Butters, from some random person on Craigslist. Seemed like a nice guy, seemed like a nice cat. He's a really big cat. Butters likes to drool though, which was a bit annoying but wasn't that big of a deal.

That is, until I realized he had a tooth growing sideways out of his mouth, pic related.

I got him a couple weeks ago, is this worth taking to the vet? He's clearly in pain, if I touch anywhere near his mouth he freaks out and hides. I'd love to get him fixed up, but I'm also not made of money. Should I pursue a vet, or should I look at putting him down? Sucks to say.

He is a monsterous cat, probably weighs about 20 pounds.

He's also really into snuggling, which is adorable (minus the drool on your shirt and pants)

Nigga be his bro

You'd help a bro wouldn't you?

Do the right thing OP you know what to do
>>
Take him to the vet they'll probably pull it out and he'll be fine. Poor thing was probably abused.

This. It's likely an easy fix, he looks healthy otherwise and his behavior sounds good so I doubt it's anything really serious.

winner winner chicken dinner. you don't have a choice now, OP

Fix him up anon. Even if you have to go into a little debt, it is worth it. Years from now you will be so happy you did.

fix him up or find some sucker on Craigslist who would take him.

>>689478239
try the vet first, see how much it will cost. A lot of vets will work with you.

also you can get a medical credit card called carecredit if you cant afford the bill butt are willing to take on some debt.

at the very least, if you need to get rid of him, see if you can take him to a no kill shelter.

tl;dr weigh all of you options before having him destroyed.

Take care of Butters, Bro!

Sounds like you already decided, but just to reaffirm, that's a great choice. I'm a former vet tech and can confirm that it might cost a couple hundred bucks but will make him more comfy and your life a little easier. Or at least a little less droolier.
>>
>>689481589
And as another anon said, a vet may be willing to work with you. In some cities they have non profit vets if you search, or even free clinics (i live in boston and we have one here). They may not be able to do the extraction but they always know the cheapest clinic in the area and can direct you there.
>>
>>689481900
Thanks for the tips bro
>>
>>689479104


Good man.
>>
>>689479104
he really likes you OP. he's chosen you.

however, considering costs involved, and the pain he's in... you may want to rethink euthanasia. it's cheap and fast. humane and painless.

if I were a cat in that much pain - I'd hope my human would put me down and be compassionate.

keeping him alive might just be really, really selfish.
>>
>>689482666

Trip 6's says it all. Prick.
>>
>>689482666
You're just killing the cat if you know you can help it without killing it. Tooth sounds like the issue according to @op when he said touching anywhere near it bothers the cat.
>>
>>689482666
it's a fucking tooth not cancer you colossal faggot. wish your parents had put you down instead of paying for your wisdom teeth to get pulled

Satan just wants another soul. Although it maybe slightly more, pulling the tooth is the best option. He's in temporary pain that will be easily resolved

>>689483188

You're the types to be selfish - and keep your pets alive until they're literally falling apart. going through years of pain and misery.

how do you know it's "just a tooth"? you don't. just keep an open mind, and have some damn compassion.

Vet? No. Just 3rd year of med school, but I'll be most likely operating on humans, not pets.
>>
>>689478239
If your in the U.S theirs care credit for animals. Ask the vet see if you can apply. Ive used it for my guinea pigs and has helped alot and payments are $25 a month for me. Also ask your vet for payment options and they might set you up as well. Hoping all goes well for butters and you!
>>
>>689482666
triple 6... trumps all. i'm afraid you have to put the cat down, OP. I'm sorry.
>>
>>689482666
Shut the fuck up. If he was in serious pain he would show it. Its just his mouth is really uncomfortable for him and does not like it being touched you faggot.
>>
>>689484360
post some pics of the guinea pigs pls?

OP said the cat was in a lot of pain. Clearly you don't care. People like you drive me crazy - incapable of empathy and compassion. Why do you think OP was seriously thinking of putting the cat to sleep?

They say the site is full of monsters. I see a lot of people who care about that cat.

>>689485350
Pain because of the tooth. Which can be removed. Thus stopping the pain without killing the cat. You fucking retard.
>>
>>689485599
Everyone in the thread cares about the cat. And the guinea pigs. We're just divided on the medical treatment that's required.
>>
>>689485727
YOU DON'T KNOW THAT HIS PAIN IS FROM THE TOOTH. IT COULD BE NEUROLOGICAL. IF IT'S JUST THE TOOTH, OP COULD YANK IT OUT - CASE CLOSED.
>>
>>689478239

chronic pain cat is in chronic pain. probably every moment of his life is suffering

go get it fixed. vet can prob do it for cheaper than you think - they'll just yank it out. not like ur getting old butters braces for the next 3 years & repeat visits

>is it worth taking to the vet? He's clearly in pain
of course you should take him to the vet! Don't be a shithead
>>
>>689478239
That cat looks like a bro. Its easier than shit to pull a cat tooth. Should be able to get it done under $80. Mouths also heal fast but hurt a lot. Get this nigga fixed up. What the fuck is $80 on a credit card compared to easily stopping his pain
>>
Aw! Beautiful cat op. The wonky tooth could be from dental disease or trauma to the face/mouth. Hopefully the previous owners didn't abuse him, causing his tooth to become broken and dislodged. although, the fact that they ignored his obvious pain and discomfort is abuse in itself.

Please don't euthanize him. Take him to the vet. If need be, ask about getting care credit or see if the vet can work with you. He is obviously already attached to you. I hope you will keep him and make his life better(:
>>
>>689485757
I think the tooth is the issue. It's growing sideways and causing lots of pain. If the cat will snuggle OP it's not afraid of being touched. Though when it's tooth is touched it hurts more and the cat runs off. Maybe people briefly read the first post and miss details. >>689485757
>>
>>689485963
THAT'S WHY HE'S TAKING HIM TO THE VET TOMORROW, YOU STUPID MOTHERFUCKER.
>>
>>689486133
are they nocturnal? and would you recommend guinea pigs as pets?
>>
>>689485614
Oh no, I'd never. It's mostly water mixed with small amount of lemonade (no chemicals), vitamin c extract, and various other vitamins/minerals

>>689486460

>>
>>689478239
Yeah take him to a vet, some vets overcharge like hell and others are very reasonable either way shouldn't be much. It'll be worth it
>>
I'm imagining the previous owner abusing the cat): there's no way the cat was born with that and the owner ignored it the entire time. The previous owner probably kicked the cat in the face and dislodged the tooth or something. Please take good care of Butters and provide him with the best life possible
>>
>>689478777
Good luck trips
>>
>>689478239
try to fix it. I worked at a vet and dentals are less expensive than euthanasia. plus he gets knocked out with some pretty good shit if you do the dental.
>>
I've never known a cat to drool, give Butters a hug for me anon

Honored to post I the thread where good stomped evil and 4chan showed heart.

>>
>>689486427
I honestly had to look up if they're nocturnal or not here's what Google said: "Unlike most animals,guinea pigsare neither strictly diurnal nornocturnal. Instead, they randomly scatter periods of activity with shorter periods of sleep throughout the day and night."
As an owner I can back this up 100% as truth.
"Are they good pets" That depends on you, BUT I'd say yes 95 out of 100 times.
Make sure you read up on them first and get two (or more) unless you can give it attention 24/7. They are very social animals and get stressed and depressed alone.

>>689478239
OP if you are too broke to pay, check around your area. There are sometimes nonprofits that do vet care on the cheap. Call local shelters and ask them about it. If you are in Texas by chance, find a group called Vet Ranch, they'll help you out I bet.

OP here. Thought this thread would be long dead. I'll be taking Butters to the vet as soon as I can get some time off work, thanks for all the ideas and thoughts!
>>
>>689488783
It's worth mentioning, I'm not broke, I just don't have tons of extra cash. If it's a couple hundred dollars I could probably cover that out of pocket.

You did the right thing OP. That guy still has a few good years ahead and so do you.
