Questionhi,
i've just found a tooth on the top of a box..
then i recognized that it's my 5-moths old cat's tooth... after i see it missing in his mouth :(
i don't know if it's normal or not for the cats to lose their teeth
and since yesterday my cat throw up the food that he ate 3 times.. but he's ok now.. does this happened because of the tooth?
thanks in advance!
AnswerHello,
The tooth you found is a 'baby tooth'. Cats (and dogs) will lose their baby teeth to make room for their adult teeth coming in. I am not sure if the throwing up has anything to do with it, but it is possible that he simply swallowed a baby tooth. Unless he is lethargic or if his behaviour changes along with the vomiting, I wouldn't be too concerned. If it continues and he seems to feel bad, then a trip to the vet would be in order.
Thank you for your inquiry,
Tomay
