Max has inflammed gums. The gums look bright red, and his mouth is smelly.

The vet said he is otherwise healthy ( hurray!), just that stress triggered the gum problem. It can be anything from different brand of cat litters, different feeding times, travelling to someone new in the household. And I thought he was enjoying his stay with us! Poor Max.

The vet gave him a jab. Max is still enjoying his food, and managed to groom himself. And his eyes are clear, without gunks. Even his ears are improving.

It was good to see him again.
