I found my cats fang tooth on the bed the other day with a small amount of blood. She's still eating and drinking. Today i noticed she's had some diarrhea. I'm afraid this may be a sign of infection.

It's not normal Gizzy's tooth came out, and that is a sign of severe dental disease. She needs to see a vet for this, and I would take her into one first thing in the morning. As for the diarrhea, feed her a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If the diarrhea continues on the bland diet, she starts vomiting food, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away. Best of luck.
