My cat's bottom lip is droopy. Is it serious if he's acting normal?

Question

My cat’s bottom lip is sticking out a little bit and is a little bit droopy compared to my other cats. He is indoor only and is acting normal other than that. I’m wondering if this is something serious and I should take him to the vet? Pet's info: Cat | Bengal | Male | neutered | 3 years and 11 months old | 11 lbs

Hello, thank you for your question about Leo. This is not a cause for immediate concern and I would recommend continuing to monitor his lip. It is possible he is having a mild reaction to something in his environment, such as a plastic food dish, etc. If the lip becomes swollen, ulcerated, or Leo stops eating I would recommend having him seen by your veterinarian for further evaluation. Hope this helps!
