Cat's 'fangs'
When our six year old cat yawned recently one of her two 'fangs' was missing! She seems perfectly happy and is in no pain. Has anyone else on here had this experience?

It did rather spoil his good looks, though! |

Thanks susie.It hasn't affected our cat's looks yet except when she opens her mouth and looks distinctly odd!
I've realised that should have mentioned that she had very bad breath so it might be connected with gum disease. Ihad been meaning to take her to the vet, then this happened. I haven't noticed the bad breath since the mystery of the missing fang. |

It's probably as well to let the vet see her, to make sure the inside of the tooth isn't exposed, also if she has gum disease, you need to get that sorted out. Some cats seem to be prone to it. All of our present cats are fed on cat kibble, and two of them have excellent teeth, but the third one had to have almost all of his teeth removed because of gum disease (except the fangs!). He's a lot happier since, and seems to manage perfectly well with gums alone!

Yes, I think I owe it to her to let the vet have a look.
