...what are they feeding you?

Sorry, had to.

I posted a while back about London's breath smelling, and was told it could be his teeth- maybe a cavity. I've noticed since then that his eyes/tears and ears smell the same way. It smells like...morning breath? Sort of? No specific scent (ie...it doesn't smell fishy, cause then I'd cut out seafood). Any thoughts? A vet trip right now it a bit difficult as I'm very short on funds, so hopefully someone has a suggestion of something I can do here!

Sometimes smelly breath has to do with renal failure. I would find a way to take him to the vet.

That he is sharky, I'll take him to the vet in a week, I get paid by both jobs then. He's around 5 months.

Agree with everyone here. Please take him to the vet as soon as possible.

You should take him to the vet. People can have this problem with serious sinus infections. (Don`t know if cats can get these too or not)

My Six month old Kitty had bad breath and I thought it was because of teething, I took him to the vet for a check up for other reasons, and the vet told me he had gingivitis. He put him on antibiotics. You can tell if there is a gum infection because healthy gums around the teeth are a light pink color. If they are infected, the gum area surround the teeth will be bright red. You can't always tell by looking just in front. You will have to open your cats mouth all the way to take a look ( if you can do it safely) Either way, you should give him a once over by the vet to rule out other issues , Especially if the smell is that bad!!!
