Older cat & teeth?
Just writing this feels dumb, but my cat is showing pain when she eats her treats.
She is around 14. I don’t usually look into her mouth too much, but when she yawned upside down the other day I saw that her molars are very discolored.
When she gets her treats (Temptations, 8pm sharp. Mix’n match or else::, she’ll eat them all. Lick her chops. Then step toward the door. Paw at her muzzle. Try and ´dislodge ´ something in her teeth. Paw at her muzzle again. Then fall headfirst on the floor from trying to ‘get rid’ of something in hwr mouth. It lasts for about 20 seconds.
I know the obvious solution is to switch to creamy treats. I’m also wondering if her teeth might become more-than infected if I don’t bring her to the vet? Is there a point in considering dental extractions at her age?
Part of me is trying to come to terms with my special agent kitten not being so invincible anymore
Thanks for any advice !
