Why are my cats ears & gums yellow2007-11-25 12:31:37

They were always white. She is about 11 years old. She seems like she may be limping, a little bit.

Answers:

Maybe thats a sign of aging. Talk to a veterinarian, they'll know what it is.

if her gums are yellow this is a sign that she needs to see the vet this may have something to do with her liver especially if she is limping i would definately have her checked out

See a vet. PRONTO.

This is a sign of liver failure. You will need to have blood work and probably X-rays done.

Hi there.yes as the vet tech noted the yellowing (also called jaundice) of the gums, ears and other body parts as wellas body weakness definately indicates liver failure. Her condition requires urgent medical care. PLEASE contact any vet who is open this weekend as this mustn't wait.

I don't know what limping has to do with it, but when your cats ears and gums are turning yellow she needs to get to the vet immediately. Everytime that I have seen it, it's because of liver failure. If you wait too long there is nothing they can do about it. Liver failure is a very serious thing. I hope she turns out to be ok.
