13 months ago. So, I started at PetSmart a little over 2 months ago. Grew up in the grooming business (my mom owns her own shop and I grew up helping out) so they snatched me up as soon as my application went in. I'm currently living out of state for college, so I couldn't work for my mother anymore.
Owners may notice a mass in the catâs mouth. Tumors that occur in the back of the mouth or under/on the tongue are rarely seen until signs of drooling, weight loss, halitosis (bad breath), difficulty eating, and bloody discharge from the mouth are noted. Loose teeth can also be a symptom of oral cancer in the cat.
Dental surgery may be required for your cat if she has advanced gum disease, lesions in her teeth or a broken tooth. Signs that a cat may have a dental problem include bad breath, red and swollen gums, poor appetite, weight loss, pawing at the mouth and refusal to eat hard food.eriodontal disease is the most common dental problem that affects pet cats. About 85 percent of cats older than 6 years have some form of gum disease. In periodontal disease, plaque accumulates on the catâs tooth surfaces and forms tartar.
