Dribbly Cat

Maya's been under the weather today, been on the sofa sleeping most of the day and dribbling a lot. She had an op on friday and thought she might have and infection but you can touch the op site and her tummy and she's not in any pain. She hasn't been out so she can't have eaten something that doesn't agree with her, like Hyacinth.

I'm wondering if i should take her to the vet or if she's just having an 'off' day ?

    Just give the vets a call and speak with one of the nurses, if they think there might be a problem they will ask you to take Maya in.

    Well, vet opened her mouth and her tounge is red raw, looks like it's been burnt :( Vet says it's either a chemical burn (she's licked something in the house, but God knows what) or it's a common viral infection cats can get.

    She's had some painkillers and a long duration antibiotic and some special high calorie cat food (which she loves :) ) as she hasn't eaten all day.

    You haven't frontlined her recently have you? I did my kitten, who is clearly much more flexible than i give her credit for, and she licked it - and went around dribbling for a while. I rinsed out her mouth and as she seemed ok i wasn't too fussed.

    Glad to hear she's ok though :)

    They have been frontlined, but that was about 2 weeks ago.

    I had a friend who named all her animals after countries. 3 cats Japan, Malaysia and Persia. 3 dogs, Russia, China and Burma. 2 Parrots Africa and Java.

    Was going to call them Maya and Aztec, but i like Persia alot more. Should of swopped them round really as Maya has a medal winning purr :D

    We used to have a cat, Kato, and he used to catch leverettes in the field, bring them back and baby them. Sleep with 'em and wash 'em. Unfortunately most of them died of fright.
