my cat is not eating. she is an oriential...she's very skinny and always has been.
now she's looking even more emaciated and she's dehydrated.
she has always had very very bad upper respiratory...always has snot coming out.
the problem is in her mouth now. her gums are bleeding...her breath smells almost like it's infected. the bleeding is centered around her right big molar. her gums seem swollen around it and she seems to be chewing on her cheek...she has trouble getting her mouth closed sometimes. her respiratory problem is also really bad now. we took her to the vet before for this when it looked like she was getting lockjaw. when she's trying to close her mouth there's a crunching sound.
i'm considering the emergency vet right now since she is just standing and staring and not responding very much. she ate some malt hairball stuff and my girlfriend is at the store getting a lot of gravy heavy foods.
can anyone give me an idea of what this might be? the vet didn't find anything before.
