@Red Top Rescue  The first vet we took him to prescribed the Metronidazole. This was when we didn't know what was wrong and before the second vet found the mass under his tongue. @mrsgreenjeens  I was wondering how they missed it during his dental, too. He had been on two rounds of two...

We went to the vet yesterday morning. The vet examined him and said the abscess/tumor had shrunk by 50%. He gave him another shot and we take him back next Tuesday to see how everything's going. The drooling had pretty much stopped the day after he got the first round of steroids and his tongue...

@White Shadow  Hello there. Yes, I'm aware that they can develop pneumonia if the liquid is inhaled. That's why I squirt a little bit at a time in the back of his mouth, aimed towards the side. Not really sure how to explain it, but I make sure it doesn't go directly down his throat. Done with...

Thank you for the welcomes everyone! They all seem pretty happy to me, too. And other than a slight mystery problem with Dallas right now, they're all healthy too!

@mrsgreenjeens  So far everything is pretty much the same. The new meds don't seem to be helping at all. See my cats are just the opposite, I don't have problems giving them pills but liquid is another story.  I'm taking him to the vet's again tomorrow. Same practice, but we'll be seeing a...

Does anyone know of any tricks I can try when giving him his meds? He's fine with pills, but liquids are apparently the end of the world. I try to get it in the back of his mouth, but with the drooling and the struggling I feel like not all of it actually stays in his mouth. 

@cocheezie  The vet gave him Cerenia, which is supposed to help with an upset stomach, but it didn't seem to have any affect. @cprcheetah  She checked his mouth when he had his teeth pulled and again when we took him back. She said everything looked and felt normal. I was supposed to call the...

@mrsgreenjeens  Thank you very much for all of the info, but I don't think any of it applies in this case. He hadn't been taking any medications prior to the start of the drooling and no one in the house has taken any meds lately so there's very little chance he got a hold of any pills. I don't...

I look forward to speaking with and getting to know everyone here on the forums. :)

Hello everyone. I've been registered here for some time now, and decided it was probably about time I introduced my cats and myself. There's currently 5 cats running the show here, and they're all getting bossy in their old age. We'll start with the oldest and queen bee of the bunch...

@GoHolistic  Yes, he is eating, drinking, and behaving normally. The vet checked his mouth while he was under anesthesia and said she didn't see anything abnormal other than the teeth that needed pulled. I looked up Metacam after they gave it to him the 2nd time and saw what you're referring...

Hello there. First off, a little information on my cat. He's a 14 year old neutered male who lives indoors. Ever since he was a kitten he's drooled when he's happy. He starts purring and you can make up your mind the drool will shortly follow. It's always been a thin, watery drool. He has kept...

I called our vet and was told it shouldn't cause any problems, just to keep an eye on her for any. So far everything's good and she's acting normal with no apparent side effects. I still feel horrible for giving it to her anyhow. The confusion of having more than one cat on meds at the same...

My 13 year old Bengal has a UTI and was prescribed Zeniquin by the vet. I usually give it to her every morning at 9, and did so this morning.  But then I accidentally gave her a second dose a few minutes ago when I gave my one other cat her own meds. I feel awful and really want to know if...
