Hi,
Not sure if this is relevant but this was our reason for red gums
I recently came back with my Mainecoon boy from the vets, who could not castrate him, he has always been healthy and eating good food, I took him to be castrated and it was while I was checking him over I noticed his gums they were blood red, I brought this to the attention of the vet, she took a good look in his mouth she gave him an injection of Antibiotics that was long lasting and also a pain killer and he is fine now.. no red gums.
It was caused by one tooth in his gum being twisted a little and food had got on it this affected his whole mouth. And his weight when we had him weighed he had lost a kilo.. so the soft food he was eating at nights of soaked biscuits and cooked chicken he was eating but the dried food that is down all the time he obviously hadn't been..
He is now back to his crazy self, after only 2 days!!
P.S. his tufts have gone off his ears again... Courtesy of our wonderful Abyssinians who chew of tufts and whiskers!!
