But there is a vet approved toothpaste without sorbitol that could help and perhaps even a bit of mouth gel on a swab could work if she won’t allow physical brushing. Maybe the beef flavour would make her hate it less.

I’ve ordered the micro head cat toothbrush that’s smaller than the baby toothbrush and as an anti-theft measure am going to pick the parcel up from a local pharmacy.

I’m annoyed with myself for not getting on this sooner but got conflicting info from vets. Ages ago one vet said toothbrushing wasn’t a high priority and wasn’t likely to be tolerated - now other vets are saying it needs to be done and frequently.
