Answer

Halitosis (bad breath) combined with drooling in cats often points to dental disease, which is very common. Plaque and tartar buildup can lead to gingivitis and periodontitis, causing pain, infection, and even tooth loss. Other potential causes could include oral injuries, foreign bodies lodged in the mouth, or even kidney disease in severe cases. A veterinary dental examination is essential to diagnose the problem and recommend appropriate treatment, which may include a professional dental cleaning. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
