Kitten gumming and making noise

Kitten gumming is a relatively common phenomenon. Some cases are caused by diseases, such as swollen and painful gums, or inability of the mouth to close completely. Another cause is nausea and vomiting induced by stomach and intestinal discomfort. It's best to treat according to the cause.

Reason 1 for kitten gumming

It's possible that the kitten's gums are swollen, painful, and the mouth cannot fully close, or there are foreign objects wrapped around the teeth, resulting in the phenomenon of gumming. The owner should open the kitten's mouth to check for abnormalities and handle them promptly if found. Kitten gumming can actually be a sign of wanting to vomit, and it will also produce a sound like "meow." In this case, it's recommended to take the kitten to the vet to see if there are foreign objects in the stomach and observe if there's any relief.

Reason 2 for kitten gumming

There are several possible reasons why a kitten always chews its mouth: foreign objects in the mouth, stimulation from drugs, food, or other things, oral inflammation and ulcers, feeding the kitten food it doesn't like, and neurological diseases.

How to treat cat oral diseases

1. Clean the oral cavity: The owner should pay attention to regularly clean the kitten's oral hygiene to prevent bacteria from breeding after meals.
2. Supplement dietary nutrients: Cat oral ulcers are related to malnutrition, so the owner should timely supplement nutrients for the cat.
3. Supplement vitamin B: Vitamin B deficiency can cause oral ulcers, so the owner should provide vitamin B for the cat.
4. Drink more water: Oral ulcers in cats are most likely caused by internal heat. If the cat doesn't like to drink water and chews on dry food for a long time (such as bones and cat food), it can easily cause internal heat and oral ulcers.
