My cat looks in pain, and keeps batting at her face and crying. I don’t know what to do. We first thoughts she had a hairball, but it’s definitely not. She keeps sticking out her toung.

I'm wondering if Duggie has a dental problem causing this behavior. Unfortunately there are no OTC pain relievers you can give her. Many human ones are toxic to cats and are fatal if given. I'm concerned about her level of pain, and think it's best she sees a vet now. Please take her into a vet immediately. I hope this helps!
