Hello there! I'm sorry to hear about your cat's facial swelling after their teeth extraction. Don't worry—I'm here to help you figure out what might be going on.
Swelling after a dental procedure can sometimes happen. It might be due to normal inflammation as the body is healing. However, it could also indicate an infection at the extraction site, particularly if your cat is also drooling more than usual or refusing to eat.
At home, you can try to keep your cat comfortable by encouraging rest and offering soft, easy-to-eat foods. Make sure they have a cozy spot to relax in. You might also gently check the swelling for signs of pain or discharge, but be careful—not all cats appreciate prodding!
Keep an eye out for signs like your kitty avoiding food, excessive drooling, or acting more lethargically than usual. These can signal a more serious problem that needs professional attention. Especially watch for signs of an abscess, like foul-smelling breath, as this might need prompt treatment.
To ensure your cat is healing as expected, it’s a good idea to have a vet examine them. Why not book a video consult with one of our veterinarians here at Dial A Vet? We’re here to guide you through the next steps and ensure your furry friend is back to their happy self soon.

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
