Bad Breath Could Be Serious - August 26, 2008
Whew! Stinky kitty breath is more than unpleasant -- it may be cause for concern. Tooth or gum problems are most often the culprit, but kitty halitosis could signal a more serious disease, including:

Diabetes mellitus
Kidney disease
Liver disease
Infections or tumors of the oral cavity or GI tract
Respiratory disease (including lung cancer)
Feline leukemia
Stomatitis (chronic inflammation of the mouth)

If your kitty's breath is foul, or she has mouth pain, bleeding gums, or trouble swallowing, schedule a full veterinary exam.
