Why is my cat drooling constantly, even when sleeping, after tuna?

Typically excess salivation is either caused by nausea or pain (oral or abdominal), although this is not an all inclusive list. There can still be oral disease present, especially if these missing teeth were not removed but fell out. Cats can get resorptive lesions of their teeth which can be really painful and the changes can be hard for owners to detect. They can also get lesions in their mouth (stomatitis, a mass, ulcers, etc.) that an owner may not see. Additionally diseases of other body systems may cause drooling (kidneys, gi, etc ). I would recommend your kitty seeing a vet for a thourough oral exam and blood work to start. A good oral exam will likely require sedation and perhaps dental xrays. Additional testing may be recommended based on the case. I hope this helps and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Drooling is often a sign of nausea. This can be observed with many conditions such as gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, kidney disease, pancreatitis, among many other possibilities. If this continues or she develops vomiting, I recommend that you have Callie evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to check for these possibilities and others depending on the findings on exam. Treatment would be based on findings. Good luck and have a great day! Hoping for a speedy recovery!

Nausea is a common cause of [drooling](https://www.petcoach.co/cat/condition/drooling/) or foaming at the mouth. There are several other causes as well, such as [dental disease](https://www.petcoach.co/cat/condition/dental-disease-1), oral trauma, tooth abscess, [stress](https://www.petcoach.co/article/10-signs-your-cat-is-stressed), tumors in the mouth, [stomatitis](https://www.petcoach.co/cat/condition/gingivitis-and-stomatitis), poisoning, and even rabies (rare if your cat is vaccinated for it). In the absence of other signs, such as [vomiting](https://www.petcoach.co/cat/condition/vomiting/), I would be concerned that this drooling and foaming at the mouth may be caused by a dental problem, such as a broken tooth or a tooth abscess. You should take Petunia into your vet for a health check and mouth exam. It would be a good idea to get her in a soon as possible (not an emergency, but first thing Monday) because if it is a dental problem, it will be very painful, and she will likely stop eating. Your vet can rule out other causes of these symptoms at the exam.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If Milo was drooling that may be a sign of nausea which can be seen with gastrointestinal conditions like gastroenteritis, pancreatitis or conditions such as kidney disease, among others. If it has only happened once, it is fair to monitor him for now as long as he is otherwise doing well with a good appetite and activity level. If this is a persistent issue, or he does not feel well, have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Good luck!

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!

Unfortunately, drooling can be caused by a number of issues which is why it is important to seek out veterinary care, especially if it has been ongoing several days. Drooling can be related to nausea caused by stomach upset or illness, problems with the mouth, tongue, or gums such as infections or broken teeth, or issues such as something caught in the throat or mouth. While a bland meal of some boiled chicken may help with minor nausea, the fact it has been ongoing for days is cause for concern and warrants a vet visit.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Tobi. He will need to see a veterinarian this weekend if his symptoms persit or if he is experiencing any difficulty breathing. He could be drooling from nausea or be experiencing a respiratory tract infection. Did he eat anything that he shouldn't have or something bitter? That can cause drooling. Try to encourage him to eat and drink in the meantime. I hope this information helps!
