Hello there!
I’m glad you reached out about your cat's drooling after a tooth extraction. This can be quite common, especially as they heal. Drooling can occur due to residual discomfort, the feeling of numbness as anesthesia wears off, or just the unfamiliar sensation in their mouth after the procedure.
At home, make sure your cat has a quiet, comfortable place to relax. Soft foods may be easier on their mouth right now, so consider offering them meals that are gentle to eat. Ensure your cat is drinking plenty of water to stay hydrated, as dehydration can sometimes increase drooling.
It’s important to watch for signs that might indicate a more serious issue. If your cat's drooling is accompanied by bad breath, significant swelling, refusal to eat, bleeding, or persistent pawing at their mouth, it’s time to take a closer look. These could suggest an infection or that something isn't healing as it should.
If you notice these signs or if the drooling doesn’t gradually improve, I recommend booking a video consult with a vet here on Dial A Vet. That way, we can visually assess your cat and decide the best next steps together.
Take care and give your cat a gentle cuddle from me!

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
