What are signs of oral cancer in cats?

Most cats and dogs with oral cancer have a mass in the mouth noticed by the owner but tumors are rarely seen by the owners in the pharynx. Pets with oral tumors have symptoms of increased salivation (drooling), facial swelling, mouth bleeding, weight loss, foul breath, oral discharge, difficulty swallowing, or pain when opening the mouth. Loose teeth could be indicative of bone destruction due to the tumor.
