Severe bad breath is a red flag for your cat’s health!
Let’s learn about diseases that cause bad breath together.
#3
<치주질환>
– It accounts for most of the causes of cat breath.
▲How will it happen?
– Plaque easily accumulates on the teeth of cats that neglect their teeth brushing.
Plaque hardens into tartar again.
Tartar attracts a lot of plaque, creating a vicious cycle.
– When plaque and tartar accumulate, gingivitis occurs.
When gingivitis worsens, it becomes periodontitis.
– Gingivitis and periodontitis are collectively called periodontal disease.
– If periodontal disease is left untreated, tooth extraction must be considered.
#4
<구내염>
– Immune response to plaque and tartar, viral infection,
Dental diseases (periodontitis, tooth resorptive lesions), etc.
It occurs due to a combination of various causes.
– Accompanied by sore throat and cheek inflammation.
– Severe bad breath due to inflammation.
<구강종양>
– The tumor causes tissue necrosis and produces a foul odor.
– Most cat oral tumors are malignant (cancer).
It must be removed surgically as soon as possible.
#5
<신장병>
– Renal function is impaired due to acute renal failure or chronic kidney disease.
When it falls, uremic toxin that must be excreted through the kidneys
As it accumulates in the body, uremia occurs.
– If you have uremia, your mouth smells like urine,
In other words, it smells like ammonia.
<당뇨병>
– Your mouth smells like sweet fruit or acetone.
– If you have diabetes, you cannot use sugar as an energy source.
The body breaks down fat to use it as an energy source.
At this time, ketones, a metabolite, are produced.
Ketones are the cause of bad breath here.
#6
<간질환>
– It has a sour smell like bile or vomit.
– If you smell like this even though you haven’t vomited recently
Liver disease may be suspected.
※Liver disease also causes jaundice.
