My senior cat lost a tooth. Does she need an emergency vet visit?

Question

Hello! My senior cat’s canine tooth fell out over the weekend, is this something that can wait a few days until we can get her to the vet? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 13 years and 7 months old | 20 lbs

Hello and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sorry to hear that about Mitty. If she is acting normal (eating, drinking, playing, eliminating normally) I think you are ok to wait until your vet is open. If she won't eat and drink you should find a vet that is open and have her evaluated. Most times these situations are not emergencies unless the owner has a show dog or cat. Thank you again and good luck.
