Hello there! I’m sorry to hear that your cat isn’t feeling their best. Lethargy and drooling can happen for several reasons, so let's explore a few possibilities together.
Drooling might occur if your cat tasted something that upset their stomach, has dental issues, or even an infection in the mouth. Lethargy often accompanies these issues, signaling your kitty's not quite well. Drooling can also occur because of nausea or an upset stomach.
In some cases, exposure to a toxin or consuming something harmful could be the culprit, which would need prompt attention. Cats are curious creatures, and if they have nibbled on a toxic plant or chemical, it could cause these symptoms.
At home, make sure your cat is comfortable and drinking water. Check their mouth gently for any red or swollen areas, but if they're resistant, don’t force it. If they're willing, offer them a bland diet or their favorite food to see if their appetite is affected.
Watch for signs like vomiting, diarrhea, difficulty breathing, or if they’re not interested in eating or drinking. These could indicate a serious issue that needs immediate veterinary attention.
If your cat's condition doesn’t improve, I recommend booking a video consult with us here on Dial A Vet. We can take a closer look and help you figure out the best next steps for your furry friend!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
