drooling kitties

"Nadia N." wrote in message ... Any ideas on what can cause both of my cats to start drooling? It's not a lot of drool, but just a single drop that's slowly dripping out of the side of their mouths. Not meaning to scare you--but do have them examined. It's probably a tooth or a minor issue, but when our Boo began this, it was the first sign of oral cancer. Not that I think BOTH of your cats might have come down with this at the same time. But better safe than sorry. Well, Kotyo was due to go to the vet today anyway, and I took Sweety with him. They couldn't find anything wrong with either of them. And Kotyo has stopped drooling - I haven't seen him drool in over 24 hours. So the vet thinks that I should watch Sweety over the weekend if and her drooling gets worse to bring her in on Monday. But the hope is that she'll follow Kotyo's example and will also stop drooling on her own. We have absolutely no idea what is causing the drooling though - they don't have a fever, they have very good appetites, are using the litterbox regularly, and are their normal playful selves. Kotyo's teeth need a dental, but Sweety's teeth are fine. It's a mystery...

This really caught my eye: We just plugged in an air freshener in the bathroom today, and it has been emitting a pretty strong smell - could this have made her nauseous and made her drool? I've already turned it off, just in case. Whenever you cat's behavior changes, the first thing to do is see if their environment has changed in any way. This very well could be the cause: a chemical in the scent could be causing them to drool, with your younger cat just taking longer to react to it. I hope so anyways, and you did the right thing by unplugging it. Unfortunately unplugging it didn't make a difference - Sweety is still drooling a little bit from time to time. However Kotyo hasn't drooled in the last 24 hours, so I'm hoping that whatever it is will get out of Sweety's system as well.
