My cat keeps pawing at her mouth and drooling a lot. What's wrong?

[]

Answer

Paw ing at the mouth and excessive drooling in a cat can indicate pain or discomfort in the oral cavity. This could be due to a dental issue such as a broken tooth, severe gingivitis, a foreign body lodged in the mouth or throat, or even an injury. It's important to carefully observe if she is trying to eat or if there's any visible swelling. Do not try to force open her mouth if she is in pain or resistant. A visit to your veterinarian is recommended to identify the cause and relieve her discomfort. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
