Mouth ulcers in cats are caused by cats eating dry food for a long time, cats drinking too little water, and cats lacking vitamin B. Mouth ulcers can cause bad breath and drooling in cats, and can also make it difficult for cats to swallow and make their gums red and swollen. It is recommended that the owner take the cat to the hospital in time for examination to confirm the condition.
