My cat bunny has six teeth missing .home loving cat does anybody know why?

I don't quite understand your grammar.





Tooth loss in cats is much more commonly associated with gingivitis and periodontal disease, where inflammation and infection of the gum tissue causes loosening and retraction of the gum tissue around the tooth, which eventually leads to tooth loss. Sticky, sugary foods can contribute to the development of gingivitis and periodontal disease. In general, a premium-quality dry or canned food would be best.

Reply:Maybe they fell out or the cat got hurt. Maybe while playing with a toy someone yanked it out of it's mouth and ripped out some teeth. I don't know???
Reply:it depends on his/her age.





teeth fall out over time, especially on dogs/cats due to chewing animal bones





like humans do if they dont see a dentist, which i doubt your cat does.





as long as she can eat comfortably and easily i wouldnt worry.





if your that concerned see a vet
Reply:It has probably been wrenching them out itself in protest at being called 'Bunny'!


I only hope it was named by a small child. Bunny, indeed!

Reply:this is a mixture of old age and dental problems. as cats do not brush there teeth, there teeth are more susceptible to falling out. she could probably be due a trip to the vets to have her teeth checked. often gingivitis and periodontal disease are contributing factors. have a look at her gums above her teeth if this is red/inflamed or sore looking she should have her teeth checked.


don't worry about her losing some teeth, cats cope well with no teeth and as they do not chew there food its not too important. the amount of cats Ive seen with no teeth and still eat biscuits its amazing how they adjust.


obviously we want her to keep her teeth so good dental health is imperative. some cats go off there food if there mouths are sore, so get her checked just in case.

Reply:Cat's teeth fall out all the time- usually for the same reasons ours do- bad oral hygiene or injury. My very old cat had to have all his teeth out recently due to abscess and bone erosion. I spent a fortune on special post op food for him, which he decided he didn't want and started eating the dog's kibble- all this within 24 hours of him being home! So don't worry too much- if the cat also has bad breath then get it looked at to rule out anything serious and then just let it get on with it.
