Cat Grinding Teeth only when Touching Her Mouth

[Anikaca77]

I scheduled a vet appointment for Fiona for 11 a.m. tomorrow. I just hope its nothing serious.

I'm going to be leaving work soon to go get FeFe and take her to the vets.

I'm just so worried that I'm going to have a huge vet bill, but I'll do what it takes for my FeFe.

It's probably something she's had since birth I hope.

We'll see.

I could swear that I've already answered this same post a few weeks ago! LOL!

Anyway, one of my kitties does that but only when we rub on one side of his face. It's almost as if he is "ticklish" there. His mouth looks fine inside and he doesn't seem to have any pain at any other time.

Good luck at the vet, I hope it's nothing serious!

Kimlovescats.......I think you did but I didn't make it's own thread for it.



I'm back from the vets, Fiona was a trooper. She did very well. She was given pain meds just one dose, and she is put on antibiotic for the next 5 days.

So we'll see hopefully this will help, the vet said she has gingivitis and that her gums are attacking her teeth (I think that's how she put it) anyway so after this treatment we'll wait 3 more months and do another does of this antibiotic.

I'm hoping this will ease her pain.

Poor girl, I'm sorry her gums are hurting her! These mouth problems with all these kitties. Too bad we can't find a better way to keep their teeth and gums clean!

I hope Fiona's mouth will clear up quickly with the antibiotic.

Well Fiona started chewing again on my wood coffee table and plastic hanger, so I'm going to be calling the vets to see what she needs now.

Poor girl.

Don't want to worry you but when my Cally started doing that investigations found out it was cancer.

Get your puss checked out as soon as you can would be my advice
