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.
Many things can cause facial swelling, but when eye and tooth problems are ruled out, cancer becomes likely. Dear Dr. Barchas, My cat has one side of her face badly swollen, and two docs say it is probably cancer, though nothing diagnostic supports this. It is the area one doc calls the lip, another calls the muzzle, and I call the cheek â nose to under-eye and whisker area. Nothing is visible in her mouth or throat.
