Hello! It sounds like you're a caring pet parent, keeping a close eye on your cat's recovery after dental surgery. The white material you’re seeing at the extraction sites is most likely a part of the normal healing process. Sometimes, a white film can develop as the socket heals, which is a tissue layer protecting the area.
However, there are a few things to consider. If you notice any swelling, a bad odor, excessive drooling, or if your cat seems to be in discomfort, it could indicate an infection or another issue that might need attention. Be sure to monitor your cat for changes in behavior or eating habits, as these can also signal a problem.
Meanwhile, ensure that your cat is eating a soft diet to avoid irritating the area. You might also try to gently clean around the area with a damp, clean cloth if there’s any food debris, but be very gentle to avoid disturbing the site.
If any concerning signs develop, or if you're unsure about what you're seeing, it would be a good idea to have a veterinarian take a closer look. You can book a video consult with us on Dial A Vet, and we’ll be happy to provide more personalized advice.

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
