We dont have money for a big vet, and the family one is closed. Is he going to be alright? he is bleeding a little in his mouth. I dont know how it happened, it just suddenly fell out. Please tell me morris is going to be okayWe were cleaning him because he is overweight, and cannot clean his back which was covered in flea poop. He smelled nasty and he normally only meows and doesnt struggle so much.Also, he is way past being a kitten. He is a few years old and is an adult.

He'll be fine. It's just one tooth. Just check his mouth from time to time in the future to make sure he doesn't have any gum disease. The vet might give you a special toothpaste for this if necessary. Good luck trying to brush your cat's teeth though.

ok till you get him to a vet....if he doesnt bleed to death first which is not likely as the blood should stop...eventually.why are you washing your cat? they do it themselves...bet it struggled and tried to escape and thats how it got knocked.a top sharp tooth is called a fang in my world!
