My cat has bad breath and is drooling. Is it a dental problem?

[]

Answer

Bad breath (halitosis) and drooling in cats are strong indicators of potential dental disease, such as gingivitis, periodontitis, or even a painful abscess. However, these symptoms can also be associated with other issues like kidney disease, oral masses, or foreign objects. A thorough oral examination, often requiring sedation, is necessary to diagnose the problem accurately and recommend the appropriate treatment. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
