Please help... we have a young male who started constant, excessive drooling yesterday. Drool literally runs out of his mouth and drenches his chin and belly fur. There are large wet spots on the carpet wherever he lays down. His whole front end and paws are soaked from drool and we can see it drip off his mouth constantly. He does have an appetite and is eating and drinking.
This kitty has granuloma complex and is subject to ulcers in the mouth (among other places), but we don't detect the usual bad smell he gets when he is having a granuloma outbreak in his mouth. We were horrified to learn from research that excessive drooling is associated with fatty liver disease...but it seems that the kitties with liver problems were nauseated and refusing to eat or drink.
He is displaying some of the "itchiness" in his mouth from his granuloma complex, but even at his worst cases of granuloma he has NEVER drooled. We really have no idea what to think...we don't know if this is a side effect of granuloma or if this is something new. This poor kitty is such a sweet boy and seems to keep getting more than his share of health problems for such a young cat. Any advice or insight much appreciated!
