Why cat's have bad breath

"Help my cat has smell breath!!!!!!!!!?
I have had my cat lilly all her life one of my cats gave birth to her. She has got really smell breath. She has not got liver failure as the vets thought."


I found the following question posted on a pet related forum and thought that I would address this in today's blog. Please note that I am not a certified vet, nor is this information intended to replace veterinary care.

Understandably a pet's smell isn't the most pleasant smell in the world, however, you will notice when something is wrong.

Possible Reasons for Bad Breath in Cats:
Abscessed tooth. Tooth Decay or broken teeth
Gingivitis (inflammation of the gums)
Periodontal Disease
Periodontitis (inflammation of the tissue surrounding the teeth)
Resorptive Dental Disease
Bone or foreign body stuck between the teeth
Kidney Disease
Feline Leukemia Virus
Feline Stomatitis
Mouth tumors

We do carry a supplement that helps with bad breath called mouth drops.
