My 8 year old ocicat female seems to have lost her bottom right canine out of the blue. She is an indoor kitty that lives with two other cats and two dogs. She has always been pretty healthy, except that throughout most of her life she's had issues with regurgitating her food (she tends to eat too fast). She seems to be uncomfortable right now, as she keeps flicking the empty spot and blocking it from her top incisor with her tongue. I'm pretty sure it must have just fallen out today as she was not behaving this way yesterday. I'll be honest, we do not brush our cats' teeth (I'm only home for this week on break from college so I don't have much control over that habit).
I'm just wondering if anyone has any tips on how I might make her more comfortable, and if a vet trip is necessary tomorrow. She is getting older and the constant regurgitation probably hasn't helped her teeth, but I also worry about dental disease. My family is going through rough times financially so a vet trip would not be ideal, but I'd find a way to get her checked out if it means preventing worse health issues in the future.
Thanks for the help!
