My cat's face is swollen and getting bigger. What should I do?

Question

Hello, you can call me RJC. I am a cat owner and this is my cat. Apparently, my cat's face became swollen, i noticed it yesterday. The swollen part of his face got bigger today, there's no near pet clinic in our area and took a lot of time to visit one. Im worried, and this is the first time it happened to my cat. Pet's info: Cat | Asian | Male | unneutered | 4 years and 5 months old

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I'm sorry to hear Arpy is having facial swelling. Swelling like you are describing can be due to a variety of reasons, including infection (such as an abscess), a problem with a tooth, a growth, or an allergic reaction, among others. I would recommend having him evaluated by a veterinarian, as medications (such as an antibiotic or an anti-inflammatory) or even a dental procedure may be necessary to help resolve it. Good luck!
