My 11year old cat is drooling

Question

my cat has started drooling over the last couple of days she is also not eating and her tail has become very thin why is this

Answer 1

Have you taken her to the vet?  Is her breath smelling foul?  How do her gums look?  Is she drinking ok?

My daughters cat was recently diagnosed with stomatitis/gingivitis with resorptive lesions. Her symptoms at first were drooling and bad breath and now needs surgery.  

My advice go have her checked out so they can get her on some antibiotics to help her feel a little better.

Hope your cat will be better off than my daughters

Good luck to you.

Answer 2

Anytime a cat is exhibiting these symptoms and not eating, it should be taken to a vet immediately.  

Answer 3

Drooling can occur for a number of reasons in cats. Probably the most commonly identified reasons are gum or teeth disorders. Oral ulcers can sometimes cause excessive salivation. Problems that lead to nausea, such as renal failure or gastrointestinal disease also cause excessive salivation. Some cats salivate excessively when they are nervous or stressed. This is a common reaction to oral medications and application of flea control products, too. Your vet can help sort through these possibilities and hopefully find a treatable cause.
