What's wrong with the kitten keeping his mouth open? The kitten opened his mouth, may be looking for water and food, or may be trying to make a sound, or indicating that it wants to be touched.
1. The weather is hot
Because cats have underdeveloped sweat glands and poor heat dissipation ability, when the weather is hot or the surrounding environment is high, the cat will dissipate heat by opening its mouth and breathing. This is normal, the owner does not have to worry, just transfer the cat to a cool and ventilated place to rest and give it plenty of drinking water.
2. Suffering from respiratory diseases
If a cat opens his mouth and also has symptoms such as runny nose and sneezing, it may be that he suffers from respiratory diseases, such as colds, cat nose branches, etc. Because his nose is blocked by the snot, he can only breathe with his mouth. This situation is relatively serious, and you need to go to the pet hospital for examination in time, determine the specific cause before symptomatic treatment.
3. Suffering from oral diseases
If a cat suffers from oral diseases, such as stomatitis, oral ulcers, it will relieve its pain by opening its mouth, and it will also be accompanied by symptoms such as bad breath, drooling, and decreased appetite. Therefore, the owner can gently open the cat's mouth and check it. If you find redness, swollen gums, ulcers, etc., you need to seek medical treatment in time.
