Why does the cat drool?

Have you noticed that your cat is very drooling, and you are worried, why is this happening? Let's see what may be the reasons for this.

Why does the cat drool?

  1. First of all, just look in the mouth of your pet. Perhaps, having examined carefully the mouth, you will immediately see the reason why the cat is drooling from the mouth. Maybe a cat has a tooth broken, or the gum is inflamed, or there are some sores. Perhaps in the throat or mouth of a cat stuck an object or bone.
  2. If, on the surface, everything is normal, then the cause of abundant secretions of saliva may be diseases of the internal organs. Then, of course, you need a vet.
  3. Remember: maybe recently the cat experienced a lot of stress? Simply put yourself in the place of such a small, sometimes defenseless, creature. After all, what seems trivial to us, it can be a problem for them. It can be traveling by car or by train. Or - a meeting with young children who could grab a cat by the tail ... In this case, your attention and affection will quickly smooth out unpleasant memories.
  4. But if the cat's drooling continues to drip, the cat could simply be poisoned by any means of household chemicals, if they are in an accessible place for the animal.
  5. Another reason why saliva runs in the cat, can become the poisonous juice of any indoor plants, the leaves of which she ate.
  6. When washing, sometimes cats lick a lot of hair, which can also cause strong salivation. Clear the digestive system is well helped by grass, which is chewed by cats who are on the street. Fresh herbs also contain vitamins and minerals, thanks to which the cat's fur will always be healthy and shiny.
  7. A strong salivation can also be caused by a reaction to one or another new food, which you decided to please your pet.
  8. Perhaps you have treated your cat's fur with a remedy for fleas . To wash the cat does not lick toxic substances, you need a bandage and a thorough rinse after treatment.
  9. Strong frothy saliva is one of the symptoms of rabies , which is dangerous for a person. This is unlikely if the cat did not meet with stray or wild animals. But if you notice other symptoms of this disease (fear of bright light, water failure, unusual or aggressive behavior), then be careful and immediately show the cat to the vet.

Health to you and your pets!
