Cat salivating and some blood tongue looks stripped?
Sunday, January 30th, 2011Holly asked:
I have an outdoor cat that weve been taking care of a good 3 years. Shes fixed and had all her shots when shewas fixed. A couple weeks ago I noticed an infection on her paw that the vet said was either a bite or a scratch, he cleaned it and gave me Clavamox to give her, which she is still getting. I saw her earlier today and she was fine but a few mins ago I noticed she had some somewhat mucous-y saliva and there was a bit of blood around her mouth and in spots I’m assuming shes been cleaning herself. I wiped the mucous off her mouth but she keeps doing it a few mins later. I opened her mouth and it almost looks as if the lower half of her tongue near the tip is stripped, like I dont notice the texture to it like the rest of her tongue and its red with some blood. Can anyone help?? She’s still as sweet as can be her temperment doesnt seem changed.
