dripping saliva

[royzart]

Hi wondered if there are any cat experts out there
i have noticed saliva drops from my cats mouth
she is also very larthargic...her mouth is staying partly open...can you help...thank you

royzart - assume you've had a look in her mouth to check nothing is lodged in teeth etc or across the roof of the mouth. Drooling is often a source of dental problems or a reaction to a substance, chemical, wasp sting etc. (unlikely at this time of the year though) Has this just started and is it excessive and how old is the cat?

cant get near her mouth shes very fiesty
she is 2 years old

Most probably some kind of problem with its gnashers.
Get it to the vet asap and have her checked out - sounds like she's distressed because of the problem!

Please PLEASE take her to the vets.....I don't want to scareyou but it could also be oral cancer. I lost a dear cat to this just over a year ago. At first the vet thought t was a dental problem.....but it wasnt.....

Sounds like she has a painful mouth - either something to do with the teeth, or maybe an ulcer on the tongue or gums.

Make sure shes drinks something and give her soft food until you can get her to the vets.

You dont use dettox or antibacterial sprays do you, I poisoned my cat ( He liked his paws after jumping up on to the worktops).....He was fine after a course of antibiotics He dribbled and had his mouth open constantly Poor thing burnt all his tongue, I DONT use it anymore
