My cats went to the vet Saturday. They both got a medicated flea bath, it was there first one. One of my cats a few hours later started drooling, not too much, I figured it was because she tried grooming herself and the shampoo taste was still on her fur, she did the same thing when she had her Frontline treatment months ago and licked a bit of it.
It's now 3 days later and she is still drooling, but it's gotten somewhat foamy and more often. I called the vet and they said it was due to stress from days ago (in other words she has an upset stomach) and prescribed benadril. I highly doubt it is that, she is has been eating and drinking fine and going to the bathroom normal, no vomiting after the bath. She is playing normally, she just seemed a little agitated, not as relaxed.
So then we saw her lick her fur, and minutes later she started to drool. Now im sure a cat who is unable to properly groom themselves isnt a happy cat. Our other cat came from a shelter, he does fine with the bath he is very used to them. But the one that is drooling used to be a stray, shampoo was never part of her life nor was the horrible taste of it, she must be very sensitive to it. So we let her outside for a few minutes so she could roll around in the dirt. It seemed to work so far, it probably got rid of the shampoo taste.
We hope it stays this way and she doesnt start drolling again, id hate for her to have another plain bath to rinse off the shampoo taste!
