Question:
I have a cat who will be 13 at Thanksgiving, she is active, she goes outside. She has been fixed. But noticed the other day that her teeth are falling out. She has her back teeth and only one up front. Is this normal or is something wrong. Would appreciate and help. She is terrified of the Vet and would like to avoid taking her there if possible. She is one of the family.

Answer:
I just have to mention that you say your cat is "one of the family". Wouldn't you take another family member to the dentist if their teeth were falling out?

She needs to see the vet, no matter how scared she is. She may have an infection or an abcess in her mouth and must be seen.
