This is because cat\u2019s have barbed tongues that are designed to comb through their fur and pull meat from bones. These barbs are also called papillae. However, the papillae can also collect other things that aren\u2019t as delicious, such as debris and dirt. Your cat swallows that indigestible material then often brings it back up as a hairball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sin embargo, algunos objetos extra\u00f1os son dif\u00edciles de tragar y de sacar de la lengua. Otros pueden invadir los tejidos blandos. Y en ocasiones, tu gato tiene trastornos que le provocan problemas bucales. Todo esto les afecta y podr\u00eda provocar que un gato se siga lamiendo los labios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"reasons-why-a-cat-keeps-licking-lips\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Razones por las que un gato sigue lami\u00e9ndose los labios<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Si un gato sigue lami\u00e9ndose los labios, podr\u00eda ser un problema leve o que requiera atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica de emergencia. Estas son algunas de las causas m\u00e1s comunes por las que los gatos se relamen los labios:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"1-grooming-or-cleaning\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Aseo o limpieza<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cualquiera que tenga experiencia en tener un gato sabe que estos animales se lamen todo el tiempo. De hecho, los gatos pueden pasar m\u00e1s de 5 horas al d\u00eda acicalando su cuerpo. Puede parecer una locura, pero a los gatos les encanta mantenerse limpios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Esto tambi\u00e9n se aplica a sus bocas. Despu\u00e9s de comer, un gato se lame las comisuras de la boca y se limpia la cara con las patas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Considere esta como la primera opci\u00f3n. Observa a tu gato a lo largo del d\u00eda y observa cu\u00e1ndo empieza a lamerse m\u00e1s los labios. Es posible que descubras que lamerse los labios se debe a que el pelo se atasca en la lengua o a los restos de comida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"2-oral-disease\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Enfermedad bucal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Los gatos mayores son propensos a sufrir enfermedades bucales, como:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Gingivitis \u2013<\/strong> una condici\u00f3n bacteriana que causa hinchaz\u00f3n e irritaci\u00f3n a lo largo de las enc\u00edas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>periodontitis<\/strong> \u2013 a more advanced and severe case of gingivitis that may cause an abscess to form.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reabsorci\u00f3n dental <\/strong>\u2013 a condition that causes tooth loss. 30-70% of house cats suffer from this, and there is currently no known cause.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tumores orales<\/strong> \u2013 can develop anywhere in the mouth and cause discomfort. Your cat may lick its lips because of the pain caused by the tumor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Algunos gatos tambi\u00e9n pueden tener sequedad de boca, aftas o \u00falceras bucales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Think your cat keeps lip-licking because of oral problems? Schedule a visit with the vet. Once the vet has checked out your cat\u2019s dental health, they should tell you how to begin a tooth-brushing routine for your cat. Another possibility is dental surgery, depending on the extent of the oral disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To stay ahead of such issues, it\u2019s important that you are proactive about your cat\u2019s dental health. Dry kibble is great for cleaning their teeth, but if your cat doesn\u2019t like dry food, you should brush their teeth regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"3-your-cat-ate-something-poisonous\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Tu gato comi\u00f3 algo venenoso<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When a cat eats something toxic, like Golden Pothos, their mouths immediately react. You might see this behavior and even think, \u201cWhy does my cat keep licking his lips and shaking his head?\u201d Well, it\u2019s a sign that the toxic crystals in the plant are beginning to irritate the soft tissues in your cat\u2019s mouth. That, or they tried to lick something unsavory and are beginning to salivate excessively and feel nauseous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Algunas plantas, como los lirios de la paz, los filodendros y <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespruce.com\/houseplants-toxic-to-cats-4775359#:~:text=9%20Popular%20Houseplants%20That%20Are%20Toxic%20to%20Cats.,%205%20Jade%20Plants%20(Crassula)%20%20More%20items\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">potos<\/a><\/strong>, son algunos de los m\u00e1s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespruce.com\/houseplants-toxic-to-cats-4775359\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Plantas de interior t\u00f3xicas para gatos.<\/a> alrededor.

Si notas que las hojas de la planta t\u00f3xica est\u00e1n da\u00f1adas y tu gato sigue lami\u00e9ndose los labios, llama al veterinario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Otros s\u00edntomas incluyen:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Diarrea<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>dificultades para respirar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>V\u00f3mitos<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Salivaci\u00f3n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rechazar comida y agua<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Coma<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/cat-tongue-stockpack-unsplash-1200x675.jpg\" alt=\"lengua de gato\" class=\"wp-image-414\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/cat-tongue-stockpack-unsplash-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/cat-tongue-stockpack-unsplash-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/cat-tongue-stockpack-unsplash-720x405.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/cat-tongue-stockpack-unsplash-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/cat-tongue-stockpack-unsplash-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/cat-tongue-stockpack-unsplash-2048x1151.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/cat-tongue-stockpack-unsplash-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/cat-tongue-stockpack-unsplash-1568x882.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/cat-tongue-stockpack-unsplash-840x472.jpg 840w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"4-ptyalism-a-saliva-disorder\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Ptialismo, un trastorno de la saliva<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Si tu gato sigue chasqueando los labios sin parar, podr\u00eda ser una se\u00f1al de que tiene <a href=\"https:\/\/www.petmd.com\/cat\/conditions\/mouth\/c_ct_ptyalism\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">ptialismo<\/a>. Esta condici\u00f3n ocurre cuando la boca crea un exceso de saliva. Por s\u00ed solo, esto puede no parecer gran cosa, pero puede causar n\u00e1useas y otros problemas de salud en los gatos. Lamerse los labios tiende a ocurrir cuando los gatos sienten la necesidad de vomitar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Si sospecha que su gato tiene ptialismo, busque algunos de los s\u00edntomas. Aparte de lamerse los labios, notar\u00e1s que babean un poco, rechazan la comida con frecuencia y vomitan con frecuencia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Algunas condiciones de salud tambi\u00e9n est\u00e1n relacionadas con el ptialismo, que incluyen:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Envenenamiento<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enfermedades de la boca<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Caries dental<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cuerpos extra\u00f1os en la garganta o la boca.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rabia<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>alergias<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>N\u00e1usea<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the ptyalism doesn\u2019t disappear on its own, visiting a vet is your best option. The vet can perform a complete examination and perform a variety of diagnostic tests. Also, make sure there are no poisonous plants in your home. Keep dangerous chemicals and foods out of reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"5-nausea\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. N\u00e1useas<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cat lip smacking can also be a sign of an upset stomach. Lip-licking can be a sign of pain, especially when your cat is on the verge of vomiting. Sometimes the reasons behind their nausea are easy to rule out (like taking medicine they don\u2019t like), while others may be more complex. For instance, cancer, diabetes, and kidney failure all cause nausea in cats, as does chewing on something they weren\u2019t supposed to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make sure you schedule an appointment with your veterinarian. In the event the nausea is related to food, you may have to switch up your cat\u2019s diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"6-allergies\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Alergias<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Does your cat keep licking lips and sneezing? It could be allergies. When a cat\u2019s lips get itchy from eating something they\u2019re allergic to, it could cause irritation around the mouth and nose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Est\u00e9 atento a otros s\u00edntomas relacionados con las alergias como:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Irritaci\u00f3n de la piel<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dificultad para respirar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>sibilancias<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ojos llorosos<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Picaz\u00f3n excesiva<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deber\u00e1 trabajar junto con un veterinario para determinar la causa de las alergias. Una vez que lo hagas, el problema de lamerse los labios deber\u00eda desaparecer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"the-end-of-liplicking\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">El fin de lamerse los labios<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your cat keeps licking lips over and over to the point where you can no longer ignore it, don\u2019t. Be careful if your cat keeps licking lips and swallowing or shaking their head. While it could mean they are grooming themselves, frequent lip licking is a sign of illness or distress. Don\u2019t wait to see if the condition is going to improve. Pick up the phone and call a trusted veterinarian immediately. Otherwise, the condition of your furry companion may severely or fatally worsen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"faqs\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">preguntas frecuentes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1691667217039\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 mi gato se lame tanto los labios?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Lamerse excesivamente los labios podr\u00eda ser una se\u00f1al de que su gato se siente inc\u00f3modo o amenazado.
