Swelling of a feline’s lower labial region signifies an inflammatory response. This condition, observable as increased volume and sometimes redness, may be indicative of an underlying medical concern.
Prompt identification of the cause is essential for effective management and treatment. Ignoring such physical manifestations can lead to escalation of the originating issue, causing discomfort and potential health complications for the animal. The location of the inflammation, the bottom lip, is particularly sensitive and its condition can severely affect eating and grooming.
