What causes a cat to loss two canine teeth completely and suddenly?

admin — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 20:25:52 +0000

Earlier today, I came across a feline canine tooth in my basement. When I checked my cat’s teeth, both her top and bottom canines (on her right side) are missing! I have no idea how it happened, or when. She is not a pure-breed. She is about nine years old. Currently in good health, although she did have liver problems about two years ago. I think the teeth were lost within the past month. Anyone know what might be going on?
(I also adopted another cat a couple weeks ago, but it was a cat she’d already been been around for awhile, she just hadn’t been living with. The new cat is completely healthy.)
