The initial symptoms of cat stomatitis are flushing, bad breath, and salivation inside the mouth. After the pet owner opened the cat’s mouth and observed it, he found that the cat had obvious bad breath, a lot of salivation, and there were stains on the mouth and tongue. When there are multiple ulcers, it is necessary to help the cat clean its mouth. You can first use a cotton swab dipped in saline to clean the cat's mouth, clean the spaces between the teeth, and insist on cleaning the cat once a day. ​​​​​​

What are the first symptoms of feline stomatitis?

Do not feed the cat cat food until the oral ulcer is healed, otherwise dry and hard cat food will make it difficult for the cat to chew and cause irritation to the mouth. It is recommended that pet owners switch to feeding their cats more easily digestible liquid foods, such as minced meat porridge, pumpkin paste, mashed potatoes or Miaoxian bags, and canned cats, which are more suitable. At the same time, the cat should drink more warm water to maintain it. It is also beneficial for the body to have enough water.

If the cat fails to improve after the above methods, the pet owner should check whether there are some external reasons that cause the cat’s oral ulcers. It may be because the cat chews things randomly. Or stomatitis caused by being stabbed in the mouth by fish bones while eating fish and not receiving timely treatment from the pet owner. Then, the pet owner needs to send the cat to the pet hospital in time and require the help of a veterinarian.
