    My 2 year old male cat has a swollen lip!
    My two year old cats bottom lip is swollen. It started about a week ago and has been bigger then gets smaller... It is now staying the same size. He is still eatiing and acting normal but will not let me touch or even get close to look at it. It has swollen to be over his bottom teeth. First I thought it was "cat acne" but it is not getting any better. I don't know what to do... Please help...

    You should take that cat to the vet. It could be an abscessed tooth. Anyway, take the cat to the vet.

    Yeah take it to the vet more than likely its what's called an rodent ulser its not from eating rodents or anything here's and article:Eosinophilic Ulcer (Rodent Ulcer) In A Cat more than likely if it is the vet will put the cat to sleep and scrape it out, it does hurt them that's why they won't let you see it. If you let them go it will get bigger cats have lost parts of there mouth because of it. Look around for a cheap vet the procedure only cost me less then a hundred however the vet will more then likely try to put your cat on steroids first which is cheaper to see if it works, my cat was more suveer he had a swollen lip then started scratching raw holes in himself her is my article https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/cats/s...ck-186364.html swollen lip can also be an allergy so get it checked out good luck!
