It's always hard when money *has* to be a consideration, but it sounds
like you're doing the right thing as needed. Best of luck to you and
Samantha with the 3-toofies extraction. I bet she feels at least
*better* right away.

Nancy,
Here is an article on what your vet is saying your baby has:

If your vet is right and your kitty has FORL (Feline Odontoclastic

treated.
