Cat is acting like something is stuck in her tooth. | Ask A Vet
 

 


Dog ate chocolate?

 ask a vet

Cat has a sore mouth.

Species: Cat
Breed: N/A
Age: 11-15 years
My cat does this thing with her mouth as if there's something stuck in her tooth but she can't get it out. It happened once in awhile but now it's happening more often. Should I be worried about this?

Online vet, Dr. Marie

Dr. Marie replied:

Sorry to hear that this is happening with Little. This is a tough question to answer without being able to examine your cat.

It sounds like she may have some pain in her mouth. You will likely want to have your vet examine her.

One of the more common reasons for pain in the mouth is a dental problem called a resorptive lesion. This is similar to a cavity in people and can be quite painful for cats.

It's also possible that she has a dental infection or even a tumor in the mouth.

Or, she may actually have something stuck in her mouth.

There really is nothing that I can recommend over the internet other than to have your vet take a look.

I hope she is ok!

Dr. Marie.
