Hvorfor stikker min kat hans tunge ud?

 af yunus den 30. marts 2017 |

Most cat owners have a funny photo of their feline friend totally relaxed, tongue dangling from his mouth. While an outstretched tongue is normally a harmless—and adorable—feline quirk, any pet that’s taken to sticking out his tongue constantly is likely suffering from an injury or breathing issue that’s preventing him from closing his mouth.
 
Cats spend up to one-third of their lives bathing, so it’s no surprise they often have their tongues out. Cats’ tongues have stiff, backward-facing spines known as papillae that form a rough surface ideal for removing loose hair. Though most cats groom with laser-sharp focus, it’s not uncommon for felines to get distracted mid-lick. This leaves Kitty in a compromised position with his tongue dangling for several seconds. Likewise, cats can get so relaxed while resting or sleeping that their mouths hang open slightly, allowing your pet’s tongue to dangle in a comical, but completely healthy, way.
 
Problems arise when cats leave their tongues out constantly. This can signal a medical issue, as it’s likely your pet is sticking out his tongue due to an injury, breathing issue or other ailment that’s preventing him from closing his mouth. Feline periodontal disease, including inflammatory conditions such as gingivitis, is more common than many pet owners realize, and these mouth and gum conditions can cause your pet to stick out his tongue in an effort to relieve pain. Drooling and red, swollen or bleeding gums are common symptoms of an oral ailment. Oral tumors or fractured teeth can also cause Kitty to dangle his tongue, as can kidney failure, which can lead to painful ulcers on your cat’s gums. If you notice your pet sticking his tongue out more often than normal, or see any other symptoms of physical distress, take him to the veterinarian to check for gum disease, oral abscesses, tooth decay and other medical problems.
 
Remember, while dogs pant to cool off, this behavior is not normal in healthy cats. While chances are your cat’s tongue dangling is simply an endearing quirk and not a medical emergency, watch for sudden and unusual changes in your pet’s behavior. If he is sticking his tongue out more often than normal or constantly, or is showing other signs of physical distress, have your veterinarian examine him to rule out ulcers, abscesses and other medical conditions that can cause cats to leave their mouths hanging open.

Hej, Min 6-årige store Yorkie sover med sin tunge omkring 1/2 in. eller mere stikker ud - hun har gjort dette siden hun blev hvalp. Hun har også noget, dyrlægen kalder omvendt nysen - i menneskelige termer vil jeg sige, at hun har allergi. Dyrlægen mener ikke, at der er nogen hindring. Eventuelle kommentarer? Tak!

Jeg tror, at Yorkies stikker tungen frem som et kendetegn ved racen. I årenes løb har jeg ejet seks og alle undtagen én gjorde dette. Selvom Yorkies er kendt for at have tandproblemer, er dette noget, de gjorde fra små hvalpe til små voksne. Måske er de bare altid parate til at give kys.

My cats tongue was sticking out here and there and he ended up having kidney disease. With all those other syptoms would definitely have a vet check her out.

Mine too. She's just a half grown kitten though. She seems fine but her tongue is out a lot of the time.

My kitty was sticking out her tongue, eating and drinking like no other, but just found out she does have inflammation and needs to have some teeth pulled. Glad I took her in for a check.

My male cat peanut he's only about 2 nearly 3, he has recently started hanging his tongue out constantly, it's very rare I see him without it out, and I have noticed in the past although not recently that his gums have been bleeding because there was blood in his drool, and he drools all the time, more so when he's sleeping. And his breath smells really bad but it always has done. He still eats (all the time) he has a very big appetite, and he's happy and hypo all the time always chasing and playing with my other cat, he's totally fine within himself.
Could this be something wrong with his help and I haven't realises until now?

Hej Clare, hvis du ikke allerede har gjort det, ville jeg få din kat til dyrlægen med det samme. Hvert af disse symptomer i sig selv er bekymrende - alt sammen lyder det som om det kunne være alvorligt. Sunde kattes ånde må ikke lugte forfærdeligt. Blødende mund lyder som om han sandsynligvis har smerter og stikker muligvis tungen ud af denne grund. Det kan være tandkødssygdomme eller en række andre alvorlige lidelser. Som en overlevelsestaktik forsøger katte ikke at opføre sig syge eller sårede, selv når de lider. Det er op til deres ejere at lede efter subtile spor. Held og lykke!

Tag ham til dyrlægen. Blødning betyder, at det er sen tandkødssygdom eller anden sygdom. Han har sikkert meget ondt men da han er en killing (energi) tror du ikke han er det.

Vær venlig!!! I tager alle jeres katte til dyrlægen, før det er for sent. Min et år gamle kat plejede at stikke tungen ud, havde virkelig dårlig ånde. Hun havde stomatitis (tandkødssygdomme), og det kan ikke helbredes, det kan kun behandles. Lægen sagde, at det er virkelig smertefuldt for dem, men da de er katte, tror din nat, at det ikke er smertefuldt. Jeg skal rense hendes mund hver dag ( simple ting ) men før det var de nødt til at tage nogle af hendes tænder ud .. nogle gange når det er for sent skal de tage alle tænderne og det er fint de vil fortsætte med at have en normal men lykkeligere liv. De fleste mennesker er ikke opmærksomme på deres kæledyrs mundsundhed. Nogle gange er det så smertefuldt, at de holder op med at spise og så dør. Vær altid opmærksom på dit kæledyrs helbred, og hvis du ikke kan tage dig af et kæledyr, skal du bare ikke anskaffe dig et.

Hej alle jeg har levet med katte hele mit liv redde dem var nødt til at lægge nogle ned, min viden stikker dybt og har indsigt i en masse katteadfærd. Vi er tilbøjelige til at humanisere dem og anvende Human Nature 2 til vores lodne katte-kæreste. Dette er ofte en fejl, vi begår i forsøget på at bestemme, hvad der foregår i deres sind eller krop. Du er nødt til at gå online eller få nogle bøger om kattes adfærd, hver ejer burde have mindst en eller to bøger om tingene. Fra killinger til voksenlivet er der mange forskellige lidelser og skader, der kan ramme dem. Mit råd er enkelt, tag dig tid, tag dig tid til at lægge mærke til og observere deres adfærd. Selvfølgelig anbefales årlige eller halvårlige dyrlægekontroller stærkt. Dem, der kender mig, kalder mig kun Kattehviskeren, fordi 99% af tiden, når jeg har at gøre med enten en vild, fortabt fordrevet eller tamme kat, som nogen i mangel på bedre ord har smidt andre hjem, hvilket for mig bare er grusomt. Så havde også chancen for at pleje Foster and Rescue-fælden og frigive efter at have fået dem rettet. Jeg har beskæftiget mig med alt fra ringorm, en hudsygdom, der kan helbredes, til ting så alvorlige som kræftdiabetes. Slagtilfælde og farveskala løber gennem alt derimellem. Jeg ville ikke ønske nogen af disse på nogens elskede kæledyr, men de sker. Jeg nævnte dybest set bare de fysiske ting, der kan ramme dem, men der er også mentale ting til. Nogle af disse adfærd inkluderer at die, gå på toilettet uden for kattebakken, løbe fra dig eller nogen og gemme sig i lange perioder. Også hvis de er tamme og lever sammen med en eller flere katte eller andre dyr, og de konstant slår ud med poterne og hvislen, kan den kat have at gøre med en tidligere traumeangst og frygt. Hvis du ser dette ske, er en ting, du skal kigge efter, hvis deres ører peger bagud, og hvis de snerrer og viser deres fortænder, og om de er declawed foran eller ej, er kløerne ude, det er ikke et godt tegn. Vær også opmærksom på andre spisevaner og drikke. Hvis de tilsyneladende aldrig bliver tilfredse, mens de spiser, kan det have at gøre med enten orme eller noget, der har med deres fordøjelsessystem at gøre. Det samme kan siges, hvis de ikke spiser eller spiser meget lidt. Hold også øje med drikkevand næsten konstant, dette er et sikkert tegn på, at der kan være diabetes. Nu taler jeg ikke om en varm dag, og de prøver bare at forblive hydrerede. Jeg taler konstant, drikker fyldt med perioder med sløvhed. Som nogen allerede har kommenteret, at de på grund af deres instinkter og bevarelse vil skjule deres smerte for ikke at virke svage. Selvfølgelig er dette godt i naturen, men ikke godt derhjemme. Vær også i harmoni med din energi, fordi de kan læse det og nogle gange reagerer på det alligevel, vi forstår det ikke helt. Jeg ønsker jer alle held og lykke med jeres kæledyr, og jeg vil forsøge at følge med i nogle af indlæggene fra tid til anden. tak skal du have

Vi fik min kat Ben, da han var 5 og en herreløs i vores nabolag. Han har haft mange problemer. Han har en annullering af kirtler, og han har også været nødt til at få fjernet en ekstra tå. Han er 8 nu og en sund killing. (Tror jeg i hvert fald), men han stikker tungen ud bare spidsen. Han gør det normalt, når han begynder at lægge sig ned, mens han har brug for det. Mens han har brug for, at hans støj drypper. Jeg tror, han er overbelastet. Men dyrlægen siger han har det godt. Hjælp!!!

I would look for a better and well recommended vet (don't forget to bring all past tests/documents). There could be several things going on that if caught early can either be cured or treated to reduce any suffering in your cat. If you feel something is wrong, but the vet tells you it's nothing, you have a better feeling and intuition about your cat.

I took my beloved 16 y/o tuxedo cat molly to the vet because she was limping and mostly keeping her back paw off the ground and she had a lump there on top of her paw and the vet said if she is jumping still and acting normal then maybe she sprained it,he charged me $50 , did not take X-ray , I was only there a few minutes , went back 2 or 3 weeks later because she was still not putting her paw on ground, this time he took X-ray and he took me back to the X-ray room and showed me an invasive tumor in her leg. She needed surgery right away and he initially said she needed small toe amputation but he had to take her leg off below the knee to save her life. Just because you take your poor animal to the vet you alone are your pets only advocate. There are thousands of heartless lazy dangerous doctors out there( but they still want their money) so be on high alert for this.

Please help! My cat is very aggressive and the vet prescribed him fluexetine. An hour after taking his 3rd dose, he started excessively drooling, keeps his mouth open and won’t eat or drink! Is he overdosing or have some kind of failure?

My cat had all his teeth pulled because of stomatitus about 3 months ago. Now his tongue sticks out all the time and he has begun to seem like he doesn't feel well again, doesn't want to eat and he his tongue looks very red and actually maybe sores are on it are on it. what happens to their tongue when it's out like that or is it coming from inside his mouth?
