Hello. Most likely Yuki was bitten or stung by something. She may have snapped at a bee or wasp flying by & it is not uncommon to get stung inside the mouth. If she is not having any breathing difficulties, then she will be fine in 24-48 hours. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
