ASK THE CAT DOCTOR

Your Opportunity To Let The Cat Doctor
Know What
YOU Want To Read About



QUESTION My cat has very smelly breath and he only eats small amounts of food. Is he ok? Suzanne

ANSWER
He most likely is not ok. Bad breath and decreased appetite are suspicious for (1)bad teeth. (2) Diabetic cats also have different smelling breath. Cats with (3)kidney disease will have foul breath as well. Any of these scenarios requires an immediate visit to the vet. Please make an appointment right away. Best to you and your kitty,

RESPONSE AFTER VET VISIT
Dr. Neely, my cat had very bad kitty breath for a few years. I didn't even feed him wet food. Turns out he had 3 infected teeth that had to be pulled. Now his breath is perfect. He also has diabetes, which may have helped the teeth along, but taking them out was the best thing for him and his breath. Thank You!!!

Hi, I'm Dr. Neely and this is the Ask The Cat Doctor page. I receive hundreds of questions each month. I read each e-mail sent to Ask The Cat Doctor, but due to the tremendous volume of mail received, not all questions can be answered personally.

One of the main reasons it is impossible for me to keep up with hundreds of questions is because I am the only one answering your questions. Questions are not answered by a technician or veterinary assistant or knowledgeable cat owner. I write ALL the information on this entire site personally and I am a licensed, practicing veterinarian with 18 years of experience running my own "cats only" practice. This is one of the major things that makes this website different from most.

I can , however, promise you that even though I can't always answer your specific question, go ahead and send it in and the content of it will be covered within a reasonable amount of time either in an article on the website or a post to the blog. The information I put on the website is in direct response to what my readers want to know. I welcome questions, suggestions, requests, and PICTURES!!

The answer to your question may already be in the most Frequently Asked Questions section. The questions there are organized into categories. Each category in the FAQ includes a specific topic. Please check the previously answered questions before submitting your own.

The questions listed in the Frequently Asked Question section are all from actual readers. Lots of readers scroll through the questions to find helpful tips. Some readers just like to see what challenges or problems others encounter. Others want advice they can use right now.

I regularly add more categories and topics to this list of FAQ. If you can't find what you are looking for, please fill out the form at the bottom of the page telling me what you'd like to know about.

Answers given will be posted for the benefit of all our readers. Also, if you do submit a question for addition to the site, please be patient.

The only requirement for submitting a question/topic suggestion is that you sign up for my free email newsletter. You can unsubscribe at any time, but I feel fairly certain you will enjoy this free newsletter which contains additional helpful information about cats. Your name and email address will not be shared with anyone!!!

Thanks so much for the quick response. My husband had an idea that it was some type of worm. We will be taking care of both Bella and Shadow asap. It so great to have someone like you that we can rely on for help. Thanks again, Sandy ______________________________________________________

Answers to your questions will be posted on the website. This helps to share the information with your fellow cat lovers all around the world. Note

If you have an emergency, go straight to a veterinarian. Don't wait to write me or anyone else. Time is of the essence when it comes to saving cats.
