Why is my cat pawing mouth, quivering, and drooling? Is it serious?

Question

Gizmo acts as is something is either in her throat or teeth. She keeps using her paw at her mouth, and quivering. She also has slime coming from her mouth. She is breathing ok. Is this something I should be worried about? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 10 lbs

Dr. Elizabeth · Accepted Answer

Yes. These are signs that Gizmo is uncomfortable or even in pain. She may have something stuck in her mouth but bad teeth could also look like this. I recommend to have her examined today. You don't want her to be in pain and the veterinarian will need a physical exam to diagnose the problem and can then provide appropriate care and pain relief. Best of luck.
