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.
Oral cancer accounts for approximately 6% of all cancers in dogs and is the fourth most common cancer overall. In cats, it. accounts for 3% of all cancers. Oropharyngeal (oral cavity and pharynx) cancer is 2.6 times more common in dogs. compared to cats, and male dogs have a 2.4 fold greater risk of developing oral cancer compared to female dogs. Dogs. with heavily pigmented oral mucosa, such as chow chows, are at increased risk of developing oral melanoma.
