Hello there! I'm sorry to hear your kitty isn't feeling their best. When a cat starts drooling more than usual and loses interest in food, it can be concerning. Let's explore some potential causes.
Cats may drool excessively if they have dental problems. Issues like a broken tooth or gum inflammation can cause discomfort and prevent them from eating. Another possibility could be something stuck in the mouth or throat, such as a small object or a hairball. Additionally, nausea can also make cats drool and avoid eating, which might point to an upset stomach or a more serious condition like kidney disease or liver issues.
At home, check your cat's mouth gently if they allow it. Look for any obvious signs of injury or irritation. Encouraging them to drink water and offering soft food might also help until their appetite returns.
It's essential to stay vigilant for signs that this might be more serious. If your cat is lethargic, vomiting, or showing signs of pain, it would be best to consult a veterinarian promptly.
Given the symptoms you're seeing, I recommend setting up a video consult with Dial A Vet. This will allow a vet to guide you through the next steps more effectively and ensure your furry friend gets the care they need!

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
