14 year old felix vomiting after every meal

Thanks for the update about Felix and so sorry he has a tooth abscess.

I'd know idea. I feel so guilty
I just hope it's not mouth cancer

Bloods not been took yet
I've fed him and he's fast asleep in a nice warm igloo bed

It is very hard to assess cat dental conditions on your own. In the absence of very clear symptoms, it is next to impossible. Usually, dental issues are not cancer, so try to remain hopeful that this is a bad tooth.

 

[Coralcup]

The only symptoms he had was constant vomiting
He's not been sick since Sunday night
He's not lots weight
He's on blink grain free chicken seems to be ok atm
Is thought of alsorts , kidney cancer thyroid stomach bug

As he not haf bloods yet, could still be something else. Hope not

He had 1 tooth removed about a year ago
How could I not know he has abscess

Tooth Root Abscess in Cats | VCA Animal Hospital | VCA Animal Hospitals
This article discusses tooth root abscesses. Halfway down, it mentions signs; however, all of those are very easy to miss if you are not a vet.

Thank you

 

[Coralcup]

But he hasn't chipped a tooth and doesn't have bad breath

 

[fionasmom]

Those are just a couple of symptoms and all of the symptoms may be easily missed, or absent entirely. Fiona had to have two teeth extracted several years ago after a regularly scheduled exam in which the vet found a problem which had no obvious symptoms.

Wow! That's not what I was expecting, but I'm glad you got him to the vet and the vet figured out what's wrong.

 

[Coralcup]

I hope it's nothing else once they do bloods
He's ate up this morning
Not been sick

 

[Coralcup]

Fekix is sneezing. He's eating up ok
Gum still very swollen. He only started the antibiotics Tuesday

 

[fionasmom]

That is not enough time to give the antibiotics to really kick in, so don't become upset about that.

Hope Felix is doing better. I had a cat who was vomiting. Took her to the vet and her teeth really needed cleaning. She had one tooth that needed to be removed and a tooth that was being reabsorbed and a cleaning.Her vomiting stopped. She has needed many cleanings in her 15 years. She will not allow me to brush her teeth. I have had cats with no teeth issues and some with terrible issues.
