My cat drools after eating plants, but seems fine. Vet needed?

Shadow sounds nauseous. Feed him a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the drooling continues on the bland diet, he refuses to eat the bland diet, he vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away. I hope this helps!

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Rocco. Excessive drooling can be the result of nausea, mouth pain or a bad taste in the mouth. I will typically treat with anti-nausea medication to see if it helps. If not, make sure that he is not eating anything that he shouldn't (plants, etc). Finally, I will anesthetize the patient for a thorough oral exam, dental radiographs and clean the teeth. I hope this information helps!

Poor guy. He sounds very nauseous. There is a possi There isn't anything over the counter that will work for nausea in cats unfortunately, but you can fast him for the next 12 hrs to see if his stomach settles. Then offer him a small amount of tuna or boiled chicken and rice at his next few feedings. Hopefully he keeps everything down over the next 12-24 hrs. If he did hae a transient stomach bug then things should pass by then. If not, then its best to have him examined by your local vet for further testing and medical treatment. I hope that your pet Noodles feels better soon.

I suggest taking your cat to your veterinarian or a 24-hour emergency clinic as soon as possible. Excessive drooling in a cat can be a sign of a number of problems including (but not limited to) nausea, dental disease. Ingestion of a toxin, foreign object caught in the mouth, salivary gland disease, ulcers in the mouth, cancer of the mouth, neurological disorders, or eating something that tastes very bad. Excessive drooling is also a symptom of rabies. Many cats will chatter their teeth while watching birds or other prey animals; however, chattering could alos be an indication of pain or neurological in nature.

It’s quite possible, cats can be really sensitive to scents. If they both started drooling at the same time, then I would suspect an environmental cause. So a strong scent, or something they could have licked or eaten. Some houseplants will cause drooling. You can rinse their mouths out with water to help, but if it doesn’t improve in 24 hours, they should get checked out by a vet.

Excessive drooling in a cat is almost always from some type of issues inside the mouth - like he tasted something (like maybe a plant) that didn't taste good or there is a problem with a tooth (broken or infected). Other options: nausea, ulceration in the mouth and kidney disease. The best I can tell you to do at home is rinse the mouth with plain tap water. You can him some human antacid medication but I don't know what you have available to you so if you would like to see what products you have and post again we can help you with how much to give him.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Pou. Drooling is typically the result of nausea, oral pain or ingesting something with a bad taste. He will need to see his veterinarian if his symptoms persist. If he did acquire the respiratory infection from his housemate, then post-nasal drop could be making him nauseous. I hope this information helps!
