Bleeding gums

[Jay15004]

My 3 month old kitten suddenly came to me and i found her mouth bleeding. I don’t know if it’s her teeth or gums. I just noticed it was only on her left side of the mouth. The bleeding didn’t last long at all and she seems completely fine now. Should I worry?

She most likely lost a tooth. If it's stopped and you don't notice any changes in behavior (playing less, sleeping more or hiding) or eating habits, then she's probably okay.

Yep, she's about that age. I don't think this is a cause for concern. However, if she starts bleeding from the mouth and it does not stop quickly, by all means take her to the vet!
