However, all of the sudden he starts to drool lot today and its dripping everywhere in the house. His mouth was close. I am worry about him. >_<

Answer 1

Get it to a vet immediatly. You may have over dosed him with flea medication, and could possibly die if you do not bring him in ASAP!!!!!!!! Not a joke....DO IT NOW!!!!!!

Answer 2

Ok, one of two things: 1-your cat is having a reaction to the flea product. Some kinds, like K9 Advantix can NOT be used on cats. The chemical in the medication that repels mosquitos can cause cats to have seizure or it can kill them. Another possibility is that your cat may have an infection in his mouth. I work at a vet clinic and that is the number one indicator that a cat has an oral infection. It may just be that his teeth are very dirty and it has infected his gums (regular teeth cleanings by your vet will help that problem) but it could also be that your cat has an abcess in his mouth. Either way he should be seen right away!

Answer 3

You probably sprayed way too much fleakiller on him. He grooms himself. and the drool is a reaction to the OD. If it doesn't stop, I would bathe him to remove any flea medicine.... and use regular shampoo not flea shampoo.

For flea meds to work, they're actually a toxin. A high enough dose with sicken or kill a pet. There is such a thing as too much.

If he looks sick in any other way, call your vet immediately.

Answer 4

Sometimes drooling can mean the cat is sick, but if he is happy and purring he could just be a dribbler. Some cats are just this way and it means they are happy and love you.

Being a dribbler doesn't always start from kittenhood. My husband's cats never dribbled until I met him and since I started spending a lot of time with them they started it. Now they dribble all the time - drip, drop whenever they are purring. It is so cute, like they are overflowing with love. Perhaps your friend that he staid with is like me and has triggered him off as a dribbler.

All the same it wouldn't hurt to get him checked out at the vet.

Answer 5

Sounds like the Your cat was licking the flea product off Him/her. and that is making your cat drooling, have you heard that most flea product are poison???? TAKE YOUR BABY TO THE VET AND GET THE ANITBODY FOR THE FLEA PRODUCT TO DAY!!!!!!

Answer 6

This is not a good situation. Take the cat to the vet NOW!!!!! The product that you used may be for dogs only and cats that have been treated with these things can die, or else your cat is having an allergic reaction. bottom line here dont wait take your cat in immediattley

Answer 7

Did you use cat flea spray or flea spray for dogs by mistake? Dog flea spray can kill cats. Get to the vet now!

Answer 8

Your cat is suffering from an overdose of flea product. Hurry to your vet or emergency clinic. every moment you wait, lets more toxins cause system failure.

Over the counter flea products are highly toxic, expecially Hartz products. We've had three kittens die at our practice after their owners treated them with Hartz. There are no cautions on over the counter. What's happening to your cat, happens to too many because of lack of product labeling.

Please hurry. Every moment you wait increasest the chances that more organs will fail.

Good Luck

Answer 9

Vet...NOW. A lot of flea preparations (especially stuff that you bath the animal with) contain organophosphates...drooling is a very common sign of OP toxicity.

Answer 10

Your cat needs to go to the vet asap. Many times when cats get a hold of something that is poisonous, they instinctly drool. This is their way to try to rid the toxins.
