My kitten is drooling and sleepy after car travel. Is it nausea?

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!

Hello, sorry to hear about Nyx. Yes, cats can get motion sickness and will vomit. Car rides may also be very stressful for kittens and stress itself may make them nauseous. For now, you can watch him at home for any more vomiting. If Nyx continues to vomit then you should have him evaluated by your veterinarian. If Nyx is otherwise acting like his normal self, then he should be ok to be monitored at home. Hope this helps.

Stress/distress can sometimes cause a cat to drool. If she just came home today, I would give her some time to settle down and relax. If she continues to drool, or shows any other signs of illness such as loss of appetite, vomiting, disorientation, etc, bringing her to a vet ASAP is best.

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!

Poor kitten! Excessive drooling like that can definitely be caused by nausea, as well as irritation of the mouth, throat, nose, or stomach. Getting into something potentially toxic or bad tasting, flea and tick treatments for dogs accidentally used on cats, or underlying illness can also cause foaming like this. I would definitely take him to another vet ASAP since it is so severe.

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.

The drooling can be a sign of nausea in cats, but given that Rex hasn't had a change in activity, appetite, or anything else, I would keep an eye on him for now. It could be chewing on those plants has upset his stomach, and I would keep them out of reach. Try feeding 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 he's still drooling in another 24 hours after being on this diet or anything else changes from the normal, then I would have him seen by a vet.
