Happy #gotchaday to my little #munchkincat floof Bubo 😻🦉2010 ➡️2019 She has taught me just as much about the power of food as medicine as I have learned via my own personal experience. As a kitten she developed severe #stomatitis. Her permanent teeth began falling out shortly after they came in, and one vet told me she needed all her teeth surgically extracted(!!) I sought other opinions and options and learned about #rawfeeding and it's profoundly positive impact on the oral health of both cats and dogs. Knowing that cats are #obligatecarnivore animals, that the natural diet of cats involves eating whole prey animals raw, bones included, and with the blessing of a veterinary acupuncturist who trusted me to be responsible enough to do raw feeding the right way, I gave it a shot (after a minor dental procedure to remove several teeth that were beyond saving, including all of her front incisors between her canines). Her recovery was swift and complete! And to date she has never had any other dental problems and has never needed a cleaning, despite her occasionally crunching on potato chips 😂 (which she loses her mind for!) I am grateful every day for the companionship and unconditional love from Bubo and her feline and canine brothers, and for all the lessons they teach me daily. #chantillycat #munchkincats #blackcatlove #rawfedcats #paleocat #foodasmedicine #speciesappropriatediet #adoptdontshop (at Memphis, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5_LThrgnU3/?igshid=16pgxvkp5g6pi
