Sore Mouth

This cat is pretty small, which at first is why I thought she was just a baby. I was completely wrong though, she is actually really old. I have found that most animals are very deceiving when it comes to their age. This old lady was kind of grumpy, so it took a lot of hands to sedate her. It is not noticeable in the picture I took, but the left side of her face is majorly swollen. They had to sedate her to be able to examine her mouth and get an idea of what was causing all of the swelling.
