My cat Tazzy Boo is 9 years old.for about a month now he's had a loose tooth(front fang).A few weeks ago it fell out.We thought he was fine.last few days we noticed him puking but just thought it was a hair ball.Or he was just sick with a stomache bug.We've been sick for about a week now,thought we just gave him the stomache bug.Since yesterday we noticed him puke green flem with white.Also noticed his mouth looks swollen.Now were putting 2 and 2 together with him being sick from his tooth.It also looks like his belly caved in like he hasn't eaten anything.we give them dry food all the time but give soft food twice a week for a snack.Is there anything we can do to make him feel comfortable until we can call his vet at 8 AM.Like anything for pain for him?or even if there is a cat oral gel.I just don't want him to be in pain all night.I am hoping someone is online right now that can help me!!!:(.Thanks sooo much in advance!!.

We just gave him oral gel.He is still not eating and were trying to get him to drink water also and he wont drink.We have a syringe.Should we put water in the syringe and make him eat and drink by using it or leave him alone for the rest of te night until his vet viit in the morning.

We are gonna do the syringe with pedialyte and just wait until morning.He is laying on my husband cuddled up with him.under the blankets:).We are going as soon as they open at 8 AM.I will let every one know how he is doing tomorrow when we get back from the vet.I am thinking he has a abscess tooth and being dehydrated.So hopefully the medication they will give him plus IV fluids and he'll be back to his spunky self.And yes next time he has a tooth fall out or is sick right away we will be taking him or our other pets to the vet right away.He is our baby.We've had him since he was a kitten at 8 weeks old for 9 years.My husband brought him home when we first moved into together.We had him first before we had our children.

We have a vet app at 9:45 this morning.He looks a little better were a little calmer today.But still not eating or drinking.When we get back we'll let every one know how he is doing.My whole house is sick also this is awful right now.My mom saw him this morning she is a human nurse but she thinks it's def for him a abscess.Anybody touches his one side of his face where his fang is missing he flinches.
