My 8-yr old cat Charlotte had a dental ~5 days ago that required the extraction of 3 teeth, including one of her front fangs. The vet used resorbable stitches, and gave me some oral pain killers. Yesterday and today, I've noticed her drooling, and her mouth has an unpleasant odor. She's not touching her softened kibble, but is eating wet food like a champ. Today she hid under the bed (very unlike her), and was even less interested in food than yesterday. I just gave her the last of her pain meds and took a peek at her mouth. The extraction site for her fang looks swollen, and has grey/blackish tissue around it. Her gums are obviously tender and she wasn't very happy with me for prying her mouth open. Time to call the vet, or am I just being overanxious?
Thanks!
