Cat acting stressed and scared, constantly drooling

Hello there! I'm sorry to hear that your cat is feeling stressed and drooling. Let's see how we can help them feel better.

Cats can become stressed or frightened due to a variety of reasons such as changes in their environment, loud noises, or the presence of new people or pets at home. Drooling, accompanied by stress, might indicate nausea, dental issues, or even exposure to a toxic substance.

First, let's create a safe, quiet space for your cat where they can relax without disturbance. Soft bedding, toys, and calming music can help. Keeping their environment consistent and routine-oriented can also be comforting for a stressed kitty.

However, it's important to watch for alarming signs such as a persistently upset demeanor, not eating or drinking, vomiting, foul odor from the mouth, or any changes in their behavior. These could indicate a more serious underlying health issue that may require veterinary attention.

If your cat doesn't improve, or if you notice any of these concerning symptoms, I highly recommend scheduling a video consult with one of our vets on Dial A Vet. We'll help assess the situation more thoroughly and guide you toward the best course of action. Your cat’s comfort and health are our top priority!
