Jan 31, 2016.  Four days ago, this cat had very bad breath and a swollen left face with a non-healing hole in the left cheek. The owner surfed the net and diagnosed malar abscess. He came to Toa Payoh Vets to get the cat treated. 3 rotten premolar and molar teeth on the left upper jaw were extracted. There was a hole between the nose and the mouth, known as oro-nasal fistula


In-patient for the last 4 days. The left eye discharge is still present as the cat bites if we clean the eye. This will take time. Overall, he is eating and is feeling much less pain. No more bad breath. The owner is very happy now.
