Cat drooling
Posted: Fri Oct 27, 2017 1:03 am
Hey guys, I'm new here. I've signed up for a bit of advice really.
So my cat Memphis is roughly two and a half years old. She was found as a tiny kitten in a bush by my friend and she took her home and raised her. I then adopted her when she was roughly twelve weeks and have had her ever since. She's an indoor cat. We got her a 'sister' Phoenix about a year or so later.
Anyways, yesterday I noticed that when she came to rub my face like she normally does, her breath smelt. I thought it was a bit odd but put it down to the tuna she'd eaten for dinner that evening.
Today whilst sat at my pc, she jumped up on the desk and her mouth was wet. I watched her as she sat in front of me and drool was dripping out of her mouth, almost dripping like a slow tap!
I got some tissue and cleaned up all the puddles. Her breath now doesn't smell.
I found her sleeping on my bed tonight, and where she had been led, is sopping wet where she's been drooling.
I've checked inside her mouth and cannot see anything untoward (no foreign objects) her gums are a normal colour and her teeth are white. She doesn't seem too fussed about me touching her face or mouth. It's definatley drool, and it's clear. She's also still eating her dinner.
I'll be phoning the vets as soon as they open tomorrow in the hope they can squeeze us in. Has anybody had issues like this?
Also, on an unrelated note, I've also found that she breathes funny. So if she's having a little snooze, you can really hear her breathing. It's like how someone would sound if they had a bunged up nose...sort of. You can also hear her breathing is quite laboured in places. You can't always hear it. She's always been like it. Maybe I'm over reacting.
