Why is my dog's mouth sore and acting funny after a cat scratch?

Cat scratches can be painful and they can get infected. Check Ellie's mouth, chin, and lips for any wounds. Check inside her mouth as well for wounds or any pieces of the toys stuck between her teeth or to the roof of her mouth. Make sure that you do no see any watery eyes or squinting either. If you see any problems or she is not returning to normal over the next few hours, have her examined by her veterinarian who may be able to discover the problem. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
