Hello! It's great that you're thinking about your cat's dental health. After a tooth extraction, it's generally okay to keep your cat’s extracted teeth if you'd like. Some pet owners like to keep them as a memento, and there's nothing wrong with that as long as you handle them hygienically.
When cats need teeth extracted, it's often due to dental issues such as severe tartar buildup, infections, or conditions like feline resorptive lesions. Keeping an eye on your cat's mouth and conducting regular dental cleanings can help prevent future problems.
Right after extractions, your kitty might experience some discomfort. Make sure to offer soft food, and ensure they have a quiet space to rest. Always follow the post-operative care instructions from your vet, like monitoring for bleeding or changes in behavior.
Keep a watchful eye for any signs of serious issues, like persistent bleeding, noticeable pain, or reluctance to eat after the procedure. These are signals that you should contact your veterinarian.
If you have any more concerns about your cat’s recovery or wish to discuss their dental health further, it might be helpful to book a video consultation through Dial A Vet. We’re here to help ensure your pet is comfortable and on the road to recovery.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
