Question
our cat has developed a fat lower lip. we noticed it about 7 to 10 days ago. it doesn't seem to hurt him. but it is swollen. it's not affecting his appetite nor is it affecting the teeth or jaw.  any advice would be appreciated.


Answer
Richard,

I am not a vet, but it sure sounds as if he was bitten by something or got into something or may even have an abscess.  If it were my kitty, I would take him to the vet.  It may turn out to be nothing, but, after 7-10 days, the swelling should be substanmtially reduced or gone!!!!!

Best regards... Norm.
