Hi all, a bit of back story -
Cecil has skin allergies and has been on steroid tablets for almost a year now (we still haven’t found the cause). He’s had no issues being on medication so far but it has definitely worried me knowing he’s on long term steroids.
He recently went onto a new allergy mananagement food (Dechra wet food with lamb and rice). He had slightly smelly breath anyway but recently it has got worse, when he’s cleaning himself I can smell it from a few metres away. My partner thinks it’s just from a change in food but I’ve convinced myself it smells a bit uriney which good old Google says could be kidney disease. He is only 2 years old.
I have a vet appointment tomorrow but wanted to see if anyone else had a problem with their cats breath smelling. Is it normal? Or should I ask for blood tests tomorrow? TIA!
