My cat has bad breath and seems to be drooling a lot. What's the cause?

[]

Answer

Bad breath (halitosis) and excessive drooling frequently point to dental issues in cats. Periodontal disease, including gingivitis and tooth resorption, is very common. Other potential causes include oral masses, foreign bodies, kidney disease, or gastrointestinal problems, though dental issues are by far the most likely. It's important to have your cat's mouth examined by a veterinarian. They can determine if a dental cleaning, extractions, or further diagnostics are needed. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
