So I sometimes give my cats a little bit of tuna and add water to up their hydration.. I didn’t check the back cuz it’s usually just tuna and water/salt but they add vegetable broth in some products. This is their statement about it. I know I might be paranoid or coming off as annoying rn but...

Ty!

Hey quick question, how much do toothpaste do you use? I’m starting to think that in addition to her brush being too stiff I may’ve used too much toothpaste and it really irritated her gum line. I kind of just use enough to cover the brush and go back for more if it smears off. I think maybe...

Thank you for the info, it’s very helpful! I had no idea gingivitis could set in this soon and I was not being diligent about her oral care up until now. I had no idea you even had to brush their teeth but yeah duh that makes sense. It’s isolated to one side of her mouth on the upper part of her...

Thank you, that’s what I’m thinking as well. I feel bad but hopefully that’s what it is and not gum disease.

Thank you! I’m not going to touch it for now, I’m hoping it goes down within a few days.

Yeah I’m going to do it everyday. I meant I’m adding the treats in with regular brushing and water additives granted she drinks it, she drinks a lot for a cat and I always make sure her water is clean.

Oh I’m sorry, forgot to add this but I’m using Well&Good natural toothpaste.

It does not bleed and she is eating fine. I’m hoping it is just an abrasion because I probably went alittle too hard on her gums. :( I’ll text the vet tomorrow.

Here’s another pic of it.

Thank you! She absolutely hates having them brushed even when I give her treats afterwards. I want to do it again even though she had it done earlier because I’m paranoid but if it is an abrasion that could make it worse obviously. Blah.

Thanks for the fast replies guys. I can ask tomorrow when they open if they’ll accept some photos. I’m reading how common it is even in young cats to get gingivitis and I’m freaking out. It kinda looks like an abrasive wound or something which in that case would be my fault/I’m an asshole. :l I...

My cat is almost a year old, I only recently started to brush her teeth and keep up with it daily. She has no visible plaque, and the rest of her gums are fine. It’s just this one red line across the upper half of her teeth. I could have brushed too hard but I’m not sure, I know it probably...

Thank you so much for responding, fortunately I believe it was either a scab or a dried piece of food stuck to her nose lmao. Oh god I was so worried. She has a hump nose but it looked much more prominent so I was like what the hell is that? I managed to get it off whatever it was. If it scabs...

Ughhh, okay so my kitten of 8 months literally just developed this weird hard lump on the bridge of her nose where the hair lays funny now. Looks like a cow lick. People are saying it could be a tumor? What is this :(
