How to Diagnose Gingivitis in Maine Coon Cats


Your Maine Coon cat’s bad breath or trouble chewing her food could be a sign of gingivitis or other gum disease. Contact your vet to schedule a dental exam if you see these symptoms in your cat. Gingivitis usually involves inflammation, redness and swelling of the gums due to the build-up of plaque, which is food or other debris. Only your vet can tell you if your Maine Coon cat has gingivitis. He will need to perform a physical exam on your cat and will most likely ask you for a detailed history of your Maine Coon cat’s overall health. Be prepared to describe any symptoms your Maine Coon may be experiencing. Symptoms may include bad breath, trouble chewing, etc. Also let your vet know what type of food your cat is currently eating. Talk to your veterinary clinic Middletown, DE if you have additional questions.
