My one year old cat is losing her teeth?

Question

I have a norwegian forest cat that came to me as a stray little over a year ago and have noticed that she was born with crooked teeth. Even more so I've noticed that she's recently began losing her teeth and has lost one fang while another remains for the better part broken off. Despite this she's very healthy and I've had her spayed late this spring.

Does anyone know what this might sound like?

I've taken her to a vet and they think she may have just lost some of them by trauma somehow, but I just don't believe that she's losing so many teeth rapidly for that kind of reason.

Answer 1

This isnt naturall u may want to try taking her to a different this could be from a lack of calcium and malnutrition my sisters got a cat its 14 years old thats never lost a tooth in its life.Try some whiskers cat milk if the cats old get it old cats milk dont fed it human milk as this is very bad for it (to much fat)also a few hard bits of food should help!

Good Look i hope this helped!!

Answer 2

It's highly unusual for a 1 yr old cat to be losing teeth. Kittens lose them just like our children lose baby teeth and new ones grow in. I would be concerned. Wet food is actually better for your cat. Cat's don't find a box of Friskies in the wild, they eat meat. Have you vet check his teeth to make sure they don't need scaled (again only 1 yr would be unusual). My 18 yr old cat has had his teeth scaled 2xs in his life. Good Luck.

Answer 3

It happens, cats will loose teeth.

They cannot brush them like we can.

Your cats teeth might hurt when she eats, so either get wet food for her, or make her food moist.

Make sure you also get a cat tooth brush and cat toothpaste, and brush her teeth every now and then ( she may not like it but at least her teeth will be clean.)

Answer 5

Hmm, I'm guessing she didn't have very good nutrition before she came to you.  Could be she didn't get enough calcium from her mother.  What do you feed her?  If it's a lot of wet food that won't help.  They need hard food to keep their gums and teeth strong.  I would recommend putting her on a high quality premium food and if the pieces are hard for her to chew soften them up a bit (and I mean a wee bit) with warm water.  Or get food with smaller pieces.

Answer 6

Does your cat have tartar and plaque around its gums, if they get too much they can get poison un their system. You can tell by looking at their gums a black line will noticeable.
