Thread: Peculiar Teeth

Hi,it seems as if you could have answered your own question, I would say it is his adult canines have dropped in beside his baby teeth,happens a lot in kittens & puppies but it does make them look a bit strange, my vet always checks for this when we spay or castrate & he just whips the baby ones out so would think your vet would do the same,very often though even if left they do come out on their own at a later time.
I always think that if you could get them to eat a nice chewy caramel toffee it would do the job like it does for our crowns......

Hi Dave,

I have gone through this condition with both my boys.... they should fall out in due time especially when they are crunching on harder kibbles. You should be careful though, as it may accidentally cause choking as I have experienced with Rocco. He spat out the teeth on the floor after that.

All the best to Hank

When you see it first, it becomes frightening. But really it's just a change of teeth!

Thanks all, glad they will come then and won't cause him discomfort. As said I've had 3 other cats throughout my lifetime so far and known plenty of others but never actually seen this. :-)

Ours did this a few months ago, just as we were about to get her spayed she got an infection in teh gum, not sure whether one old one lingered, but her gum was red and brown and her breath stank like rotten flesh, by the time we took her to vets old tooth had already come out and she just had to have anti biotics

Just out of curiosity is there a particular age that this occurs around? Just curious.

Hanks 5 1/2 months now.

Louie is about the same age & at the mo he has two large white ball things in his gum at the bottom front trying to push through. I will be happy when they have as he may stop breaking his whiskers then
