Did you know that gingivitis is a common dental or gum disease found in various breeds of cats including the Manx?In fact, this type of gum disease can affect any breed of feline no matter if it’s a male or female. In general, gingivitis is a gum disease that can cause inflammation and irritation to the gums. A good indication that your Manx cat may have gingivitis is if she has bad breath. Bad breath does not always mean dental trouble, but you should check with your vet. Research shows that more than 80 percent of pets three years and older develop some form of gingivitis. Common signs of gingivitis include red or swollen gums. The inflammation is especially present on the side of the gums facing the inner cheeks. If your cat appears to have a lot of plaque build-up on the surface of the teeth this could also indicate gingivitis. Consult with your pet clinic Raleigh NC for additional information.
