11 month old cat teething??

Post by Runnyeggs »

Hi all.

My cat Pepsi is normally a very lovely cat but shes been a bit off and chewing EVERYTHING recently. Not interested in wet food. Just dry food. Normally shes a bit of a gannet so thought its all a bit odd :?

Had a look in her mouth just now to see if she has scratched her gums or something and the only thing I can see is her first premolars look like theyre erupting/under the gum still. Is this normal? I cant find any info.

Not sure if there is anything I can do to help her.

11 months would be quite late, molars should be coming out around 6 months and they are the last ones.

the first premolars are really small, do the gums look red or swollen at all?
