"Look at your pet's gums to try to find a "lead line" at the gingival border. These are a deep purplish to black discoloration formed by the reaction of lead secreted in saliva with the oral flora, which produces sulfides. Gingival lines of various hues may be present in chronic toxic exposure to other metals, which react to form differently colored species... "
I checked the Big Male Grey Cat's gums just now and it's too hard for me to tell. He has naturally very dark pigmentation in his gums. The Little Female has very light pink pigmentation on her gums.
He was at the vet Saturday and the vet gave him an electrolyte IV. The vet also took a blood sample and will call me with the results today.
Hopefully I will get some good news today.
Good advice. Thanks for your tip.
Occassionally I fill their fountain with

Smartwater, about 50/50 with their normal Culligen store refills,
this time I went mostly with Smartwater because they like it so well,
and thankfully they hadn't had any recalled product.
Best wishes for you and your little buddy,
more time was the one thing I never had a chance for with one of mine,
I hope you both get yours.
