Cat drooling
My newest boy Nipsy (long haired, likely part Maine Coon, maybe 1 1/2
years) was apparently drooling a lot yesterday. At first I thought he was just very sloppy at the water fountain but after I cleaned him up it started again. Also I noted that either him or Espy had thrown up earlier, which is the first time I've seen that since Nico died in June. Then it was a regular occurance. Nipsy was behaving normally except for drooling but it was clearly time to call a vet. Too late for the regular vet so I called the emergency guys (Long Island Vet Specialists) and they said that it didn't sound like an emergency and recommended that I talk to the regular vet in the morning, or bring him in if he started behaving oddly. This morning I noticed him sneeze and he had a blob of mucous on his nose (which I thoughtfully removed). Maybe something of a cold? His nose is cold and wet as normal, and his ears are hot, also normal for him. He was dry this morning with no sign of drooling. Perfectly playful during the night. I could honestly do without that. I'm developing bags under my eyes from this one. So here I am at work, waiting for the vet to open. I went through the previous posts here and an earlier thread on cat drooling indicated likely dental problems which seems to fit the scenario. Oh well, I'll see what the vet says and either bring him in tonight when I get home or leave early if necessary. I took the precaution of closing the basement door last night, so there are less places to hide if he starts feeling badly. I'd likely never find him down there... |

Any chance he tasted something bitter?
