Cat problem

loopyloulou_3

I dont know if anyone on here can advise me - I know a lot of you are cat owners and have helped me with problems with my cats in the past.

My mum has a bengal cat about 18 months old, today she found him dribbling excessively and very grumpy when his back is touched. She took him to the vets as she was worried he had been posioned/hit by a car and the vets are baffled. They have given him anti inflamatories and pain killer injection but are at a loss as to what it could be.

Has anyone else experienced anything like this or have any idea what it could be - very very odd!

thanks all

Has kitty had a flea treatment or new flea collar on in last few days?My cat had an allergic reaction to a flea collar which resulted in him foaming at moth and coughing incessantly.
If his backs painful I guess another possibility could be damage to a nerve but I'm not no vet but I do have 5 kitties of my own.

no he hasnt had any flea treatment for over 2 weeks. I do wonder if he has eaten something as he goes out, although the back pain couldnt really be linked to this. very odd. he was hit by a car 6 months ago and was very poorly but recovered to full health. He is going back to the vets in teh morning although they havent a clue what it is and are as baffled as I am by it all.

oh i'm sorry your mum's cat is a bit poorly, has he been outside recently maybe he rubbed his face on a plant and has had an allergic reaction to it, as for his back i'm sorry i can't suggest anything except maybe he's fallen akwardly and bruised himself.

Wishing him a speedy recovery

My cats drool when I stroke them, and I mentioned this to a girl at work tonight, and she said if any of her cat's drool it worries her, as one of hers was poisoned once, and one of the signs/symptoms was drooling, the cat is still going strong, I'm not trying to worry you, just want to give you hope that this can be cured. Sorry, I'm no expert, your vet knows best, and can diagnose better than anyone here,I hope the cat makes a full recovery, good luck

thanks all
he is back in the vets this morning and i am waiting for my mum to call and let me know how he is.

I think he will have to have blood tests as they arent sure what is wrong. fingers crossed they find out what is wrong with him soon.

Lou, did you get to the vet the other week with your cat? What happened?

loopyloulou_3

i have 2 cats
my mum has one - the dribbling one!

both my cats have been in the vets last week! one with weeing problem - they gave me a spray (£20 later!) and its seems to have stopped

my other cat stepped on some glass and it went through her paw - antibiotics etc and she is now much better

now my mums cat! the vets are making a fortune out of us!!

My mum took her cat again and he is much better - much less drooling and found puncture wound on back - more injections today and she has too keep an eye on him.

they are still mystfied!

My friend's cat had something similar - a bad bite wound on his chest, foaming/dribbling and he wouldn't let her get near him. He had antibiotic injections and tablets for a while. They think he was bitten by a fox.

Glad to hear they've found a cause. I wouldn't worry about a cat that dribbles, many of them do. I'd only be concerned if you cat suddenly starts to dribble excessively.

Best of luck with the recuperating bengal. Mine's isn't known for being the best patient, and the last time the vet told me to keep her queit and minimise activity I just laughed. Superglue and velcro couldn't keep my bengal stationary.
