My cat has bad breath and is drooling more. What could be the cause?

[]

Answer

Bad breath (halitosis) and increased drooling in cats often point to dental disease. Plaque and tartar buildup can lead to gingivitis and periodontal disease, which are painful and can cause infections. Other potential causes include oral masses, foreign objects lodged in the mouth, kidney disease, or gastrointestinal issues. Left untreated, severe dental disease can lead to systemic health problems. It's essential to schedule a veterinary dental exam as soon as possible. Your vet may recommend a professional dental cleaning under anesthesia to assess and address any issues. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
