I'm going to call the vet when they open in a hour, but I was just curious as to what anyone thought about my cat. I woke up this morning and I noticed by cat's bottom lip was swollen. When I pull it down a little it looks a bit white, kind of like a canker sore. He seems totally fine. He's eating normally and very playful this morning. Anyone every experience this?
Thank you

Re: Swollen bottom lip
It could be nearly anything, from feline acne to an eosinophilic (inflammatory) condition, only your vet can determine through an exam. Is he kept indoors only?

I once had a kitty who would occationally get a swollen bottom lip, it would usually appear after she went on a grooming escapade. The swelling would recede in a day or so.
In any event, speak to your vet.

hello,
my cat has had problems with the swollen bottom lip and it turned out to be from a gum infection. how are your cats teeth? i had my cats teeth cleaned and then gave him antibiotics for the gum infection and the swollen lip went away. this may be a possible culprit. good luck.
