Maximal and submaximal mouth opening with mouth gags in cats: Implications for maxillary artery blood flow. The Veterinary Journal. 2014;200(1):60-64.

Why is this specifically relevant in cats?

A

Opening of the mouth can cause cerebral and retinal ischemia through compression of the maxillary arteries, which are the principal source of blood flow to the eyes and brain in cats
