When exposed to certain toxins, cats start to drool. In most cases, the drooling is quite dramatic – the salivation is continuous and in large quantities. Cats ingest, lick, or chew these toxic substances and then begin drooling.
Drooling is a common symptom of the oral and dental disease because the salivary reflex is activated. Click the link below for some of the cases when cats drool due to issues of the oral cavity.
The presence of a foreign body in the cat’s mouth or elsewhere in their body, such as a splinter or a piece of bone, do not allow the cat to close its mouth all the way.
When cats get hit by cars or when they get into fights, they often get injuries of the oral cavity, which is usually associated with heavy drooling. Click the link below for some of the most common situations.
If the cat can’t swallow the saliva it produces, it drools. This can happen when the cat suffers from esophageal lesions. These are commonly associated with pain and loss of appetite.
Sometimes it is as simple as the cat not liking the taste of something you might have forced into their mouths – like when I tried to give my parents’ 16-year old Ragdoll cat, Caymus, CBD oil straight from the dropper.
If you notice that your cat is drooling, you should never ignore it. As you’ve seen, there can be some serious health issues that have caused the cat to salivate. Ignoring the drooling means ignoring the underlying issue, which can be very dangerous and even fatal for the cat.
