Hopefully some answers or thoughts.
Indoor cat - 8 years old (Has home companion sister with no problems at all)
Eats dry food
Never been sick
Initial Problem\Illness - started with serious drool and tongue sticking out.
Current Status - Now almost 12 days later after an anti-inflammatory shot and a pain shot the drooling has stopped and tongue is visibly showing but only out 1/4 as mush as first started.
Last 12 days - Been to Vet twice (already getting expensive)
Vet Possible Conclusion --> Teeth are not bad and only small bit of plaque on back teeth. Vet does not see any open sores or any other visible mouth issues or problems. Pre-op blood work shows no signs of any other problems
Vet Recommendation --> Standing current decision has been made for a complete oral surgery\teeth clean. ($500.00+)
Has anyone seen this tongue out\drooling before and does it sound like an oral problem that cannot be easily seen while cat struggles a bit to have her mouth open?
Thanks ahead of time
