Doctor said other than removing one bad tooth and 3 others she saw nothing wrong in his mouth. Blood work was good. He started eating much better after the operation. But soon has gone back wanting to eat but can't. His tongue keeps coming out of his mouth like something is bothering him. I told vet I fear a tumor. See told me to bring him in for x-ray. I could not get him to put in carrier. He was eating some but yesterday he ate very little. Now I have to wait till Monday to see if I can bring him into doctor. I fear a tumor in the throat. I don't thing anything can be done for that.. He is a cat that never gave me any trouble. Thank you for reaching out, I appreciate it.
Bear and his mama
I'm sorry to hear that. Don't jump to worst case scenarios. Tumours are less common in cats Bears age and it's possibly a complication of the tooth removal he just had. I have also had cats get gingival hyperplasia, which is a benign overgrowth of gum tissue that prevented them from eating. Fingers crossed for tomorrow, make sure that his mouth is examined thoroughly
Thanks @nikv(( His mouth was examined all looked good except for small spot. doctor said she took small biopsy to have examined. She said didn't think that was much of a problem.
Good. Cats are quite prone to aggressive Squamous cell carcinomas in the mouth but if he's already been checked for that, I don't think you should put it back on the list just yet
