I was looking at Lucy's mouth today, she has one broken tooth (her right 'fang' broke off at the tip several years ago) and I like to keep an eye on it. I noticed that the gum at the top was swollen about twice the size as the same gum on her opposite 'fang' There was also a small red spot on the side of the gum just above where the tooth meets the gumline. Other than that the gum is the same color as the other side, just swollen. I tapped on the tooth with a pair of tweezers and it didn't seem to hurt her any (like when the dentist taps on our tooth with his little metal thingy) she doesn't seem to have any trouble eating her dry food or drinking water, and she's not exhibiting any strange behavior. Is this normal.
Also, is it normal for a cat to have one eye be darker than the other, she has golden brown eyes, but the right one is about 3 shades darker. She doesn't seem to have any trouble seeing out of it.
Thanx
