I have a 6mo old kitten named Sirius Black. Recently I noticed his breath stinks very bad and he's constantly biting my feet, ankles and hands. I tried to look up the reasons and the only thing I found was teething. But it says by 6mos the adult teeth should have grown in. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you [emoji]128573[/emoji]

I agree, a vet visit is what you need at this moment.   Is he neutered etc?  If not you can plan on it at the same occasion, so it wont be that costly.

This in the hope your regular vet is knowleable about mouth and dental diseases too.   Its fully possible you will need to see two different vets, the  all round vet and the dental specialist.  Begin with a good regular vet, if there is work for him to do.

Btw, stinking mouth is not always a mouth problem, not seldom its problem with the behind.  They are washing themselves, and if it gets smelly down there, their mouth may also get smelly. -  do you notice any problems with the anus and tissues around?

Anal glands, its the word I was seeking.   :)  Let the vet look at it.  No diarrheas or sausages hanging on a hair straw??   They lick off both these, and thus, may get smelly...

Thank you, yes he is neutered and up to date on shots. I don't see anything wrong or alarming around his bottom. I will call my vet on Monday and ask.
