My cat lost her two front fangs a few days ago and earlier tonight her tongue hung out. Is she in pain? What can i do to make her more comfy until her appt saturday?

I completely understand why you're worried about your cat, and you're doing the right thing by reaching out. Losing teeth can be upsetting for both cats and their owners. The two front fangs, also known as canines, play an important role in your cat’s ability to grasp and hold onto objects, so their loss can initially feel awkward and uncomfortable for her.



Cats sometimes let their tongues hang out when they’re feeling discomfort or are trying to adjust to new sensations in their mouths, especially after losing teeth. While some discomfort is normal, persistent pain isn’t something we want her to endure.



To help her be more comfortable, you can provide her with soft food that's easier to eat without her canines. Make sure her water bowl is easily accessible so she stays hydrated. Gently pet her and offer a cozy spot to rest where she feels safe.



Keep an eye out for signs of pain or infection, such as drooling, swelling, bad breath, or if she stops eating altogether. If any of these occur, or if she seems unusually distressed, it might be necessary to seek earlier veterinary advice.



Until her appointment on Saturday, monitor her closely, and if you notice worrisome signs, consider booking a video consult with Dial A Vet. We'll be ready to help you both through this transition.
