ok.
one of my kittens has bad breath compared to the other ones. and when i looked inside her mouth where her "cheek" (holds all the wiskers and what not) i seen like a greenish mush in their.. i took a cue-tip to see what it was..and when i got some on the tip. it smelled really bad. i have no idea what it is but it doesn't really seem to bother her. but its were seeing one side is a little bit bigger then the other..and it looks like the mush is up there pretty good...


what is it and what should i do?

when i looked at it again..its white/cream like theres not mush there ne more since i cleaned it...but when i looked on the other side of her mouth it doesn't look the same what so ever. the infected side can be pulled up farther to see it where the other part doesn't. i really don't know what is going on with her and i tried calling a vet to get and idea and no one really seems to be helping me on this thing and i jus want to know what is wrong w/ my kitten.

Sounds like an infection, I would take her in to the vet.

If the kitten is eating and drinking fine it can probably wait until tomorrow. Would your mom take her in then?

Yes, but green mush & bad breath is not normal. If it's an infection it would need to be diagnosed by a vet to get appropriate treatment.
