abscess in cats mouth

I personally agree with opus88, anyways no its not contageous in anyway , cats are territorial animals they fight with other cats to protect their territory or to acquire more territory. As a result, bite wounds are common in cats, especially when cats are allowed outside. These wounds frequently result in an infection that can be quite debilitating, especially if left untreated. Bite wounds are more common in male cats than in females.

Over the past couple days I developed an extremely painful abscess. In an attempt to clean my mouth using coconut oil the abscess burst. I believe I didn't swallow any of the liquid leaking out and throughly rinsed my mouth with salt water and then some hydrogen peroxide. I will be receiving insurance in about 2 weeks from my new job so I am hoping I can hold off going to the dentist till then.

s got a tooth abscess in a healthy tooth and that the tooth should be extracted. He said it is unusual in cats and that they don't know the cause. He also suggested some antibiotics for a few days before the surgery to help with the infection. Just wondering if it is worth trying to save the tooth. Go through the course of antibiotics and see if he gets better. My vet made me feel like I was just being cheap and that conventional wisdom is to just remove the tooth.

m thinking it could be is an abscess that came from something he came in contact with (not an injury) and has manifested itself on his noggin. Soooo...any info or advice you guys have would help!

He seems to have an allergy to this antibiotic as I have discovered hes been throwing up in the basement. This is the usual drug I use to treat abscess-type infections and I want to make sure the interior infection clears up. Is there a good alternative to amoxicillin for this type of infection?

Hello, Gastritis, fluctuation in estrogen levels, heartburn, postnasal drip, dental caries, tooth abscess are few other causes of metallic taste in mouth. Intake of medications like metronidazole, blood pressure medications, and thyroid medications all can lead to this symptom apart from the causes mentioned by you. The associated symptoms may help in arriving at a diagnosis. Seek medical help. Take care and regards!

I have a sore (closed, a little swollen and sharp pain if touched) on the roof of my mouth. Its in the middle and I have no idea what it could be, can anyone help?

You know you may have to trap the kitty, the vets or shelters will usually rent you one cheaply, and you can put the food in and the cat will go in for it and the spring pops and the back drops down.They may want to give the cat shots etc which is a good thing .It probably is in a lot of pain hope you can help it .

s are....... How does an infection / abscess in the mother cat affect the unborn kittens?? What sort of abnormalities can occur in the kittens?? And..... How long does it usually take for abscesses to heal?? My cat is in so much pain and is still lame in her paw, but the vet said he doesn't want to give her any painkillers because she is pregnant.

You might not see one until it begins to abscess. Is he exposed to other cats with whom he might fight? Does he hiss at you if you touch him anywhere on his hip or leg? It does sound like a bite to me, and if so, the trick is to locate it and lance the abscess. Antibiotics, not anti-inflammatories, would be called for after cleaning out the wound.

About every other day, I have severe pressure in roof of mouth, and sometimes it moves to my teeth, and even into my sinus affecting my breathing. I had a CT scan which showed I still have a slight sinus infection, but I've been on countless antibiotics, and the pain has not gone away. Recently went to another ENT who did endoscopic exam, and was able to get into my right maxillary sinus (where infection was), and confirmed that it all looked good.

m not sure it would be from overstimulating because we try to focus more on the body and less on the head in order to avoid the eyes, nose and mouth. I have some contact solution, so i'll have to check and see if it's sterile (it's the walmart Equate brand, just plain jane stuff). Thusfar, it doesn't seem to be bothering him, but we'll monitor him to see if it gets worse or better.

It could be a dental infection/abscess and in that case, it is highly advised to see what the problem is and to resolve it. Antibiotics most likely will not fix the problem. A root canal or extraction may be needed.

Your cat might have a different illness that could be properly treated at the vet's. The third eyelid coming up doesn't always mean worms (though it's good that you did worm him). In your shoes, I'd trap him and take him in and find out if he has anything serious that you don't want spread to your other cats. We recently went through this, and found out that a feral who was hanging around (and fighting with our cats) had feline AIDS.

I have a white lump that has appeared in my gum above my front tooth. It isn't painful but when pressed I feel pressure on my tooth. It has been there about 3 weeks now. What it is?

Hi, from your description, it sounds like an abscess. Is your cat indoor/outdoor or does he get into fights with other cats? If there's no possible way that he's getting into fights with other cats, then I'd bring him into the vets-especially if that place has been there for 2 wks or more.

Hi all, my 15 year old FIV+ cat has just been diagnosed with squaumous cell carcinoma on his back. It's small, I think a few milimetres and seems to have had it for a long time. He's going for an operation on Tuesday to have it removed, and I guess however much surrounding tissue the vet thinks is necessary.

When i started flossing one day in the back of my left top side of my mouth this horrible taste in my mouth kept coming up. I smelled the dental floss and I nearly threw up. I feel sick to my stomach. Iv'e tried brushing more on that side and using mouth wash but that taste wont go away. I don't even want to eat because it is so bad.

Hi, thought I would post this although I alluded to it recently in another community, because it looks like a story not yet done. Our cat Sterling is formerly feral, beautiful (a silver tabby with a huge head) and a good outdoor cat.

My almost 20 year old calico cat has developed a jaw abscess that has broken through the skin to drain. I know from reading the forum this is VERY bad and I can't afford to bring her to the vet. She is still eating and otherwise acting quite normally but I am embarrassed to say I didn't notice that she developed this condition until I felt the scab under her chin. Then I noticed how distorted that side of her jaw has become. Life has been really hectic lately.

earlier in the summer my cat had blisters in his mouth on the left side. So off to the vet we went, shots and medication were given, 3 weeks of weekly cortizone shots and about 200.00 later 5 months later the blisters are back, what is the reason? In order to give him the pills I put them in tuna fish, now that's pretty much all he wants to eat, soes this have any effect on the blister thing? How good is "human tuna" for them too?
