I generally don’t like animal subreddits because inevitably you’ll see someone’s injured/dying/dead animal posted like, “is my lizard okay :( [picture of a literal corpse],” before the mods can get to it, but felinebehavior is a fun subversion in that any post about someone’s cats fighting is likely to feature a cute video of two cats having the funnest friendliest grapple you ever did see

🐱😺🐾 Cat owners know that their furry friends can be prone to picking up fleas, and it's important to treat them with medication to prevent infestations. However, sometimes cats can have a strange reaction to flea medication, such as drooling excessively after licking it off their fur. 😿😾😿 This can be concerning for pet owners, especially if they've never seen their cat drool before. While drooling can be a sign of illness or injury, in this case, it's likely a harmless side effect of the flea medication. Understanding why this happens can help put pet owners' minds at ease. 👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️🐾 If your cat is drooling after licking flea medication, it's important to know what to do. In this article, we'll explore the reasons why cats drool after licking flea medication, how to tell if it's a cause for concern, and what steps you can take to keep your furry friend comfortable and healthy.1. Understanding the Causes of Cat Drooling After Licking Flea MedWhen cats lick flea medication, it can cause drooling. Here are some reasons why: Overdose: Applying too much medication can cause drooling. Reaction: Some cats may be allergic to the medication, causing drooling. Taste: The medication may have a bad taste, causing drooling. It's important to follow the dosage instructions and consult with a vet if your cat experiences excessive drooling. Some tips to prevent drooling after flea medication: Apply: Apply medication to the back of the neck to prevent ingestion. Monitor: Keep an eye on your cat for any signs of drooling or adverse reactions. Alternative: Consider using alternative flea treatments if your cat has a bad reaction. Remember, drooling after flea medication can be a sign of a more serious issue. Always consult with a vet if you have any concerns. 🐾🐱2. Common Side Effects of Flea Medication on Cats Itching and Irritation: Flea medication can cause itching and irritation on your cat's skin. Loss of Appetite: Some cats may experience a loss of appetite after taking flea medication. Vomiting and Diarrhea: Flea medication can cause vomiting and diarrhea in some cats. Lethargy: Your cat may become lethargic and less active after taking flea medication. Behavioral Changes: Flea medication can cause behavioral changes in some cats. Seizures: In rare cases, flea medication can cause seizures in cats. Be sure to monitor your cat for any side effects and contact your vet if you notice anything unusual. 🐾3. How to Prevent Cat Drooling After Licking Flea MedPreventing cat drooling after licking flea med is important for your cat's health. Here are some tips: Apply flea medication at the base of the cat's neck to prevent them from licking it. Use a cone to prevent your cat from accessing the area where the medication was applied. Try a flea collar instead of the medication to avoid drooling. It's important to monitor your cat for any signs of drooling or discomfort after applying flea medication. If you notice drooling, wipe your cat's mouth with a damp cloth. Offer your cat water to help flush out any remaining medication. If the drooling persists, contact your vet for advice. Remember to always follow the instructions on the flea medication packaging and consult with your vet if you have any concerns. 🐱🚫💊4. Tips for Administering Flea Medication to CatsAdministering flea medication to cats can be challenging. Here are some tips to make the process easier: Choose the right medication for your cat's weight and age. Read the instructions carefully before applying the medication. Wear gloves to protect your hands from the medication. Part the fur at the base of your cat's neck and apply the medication directly to the skin. Make sure the medication is fully absorbed before letting your cat go. It's important to follow the instructions carefully to ensure the medication is effective: Don't apply too much medication or apply it to the wrong area. Don't bathe your cat for at least 48 hours after applying the medication. Monitor your cat for any adverse reactions, such as vomiting or lethargy. Don't apply flea medication to kittens under 8 weeks old. Consult with your veterinarian if you have any concerns or questions. Remember that prevention is key to keeping your cat flea-free: Vacuum your home regularly to remove fleas and their eggs. Wash your cat's bedding and toys in hot water. Use flea preventative products year-round. Check your cat regularly for fleas and ticks. Enjoy a happy, healthy flea-free cat! 🐱❤️ 5. When to Seek Veterinary Help for Cat Drooling After Licking Flea MedIf your cat is drooling excessively after licking flea medication, it's important to take action. Here are some signs that indicate it's time to seek veterinary help: - Severe drooling that doesn't stop - Vomiting or diarrhea - Loss of appetite or lethargy - Difficulty breathing or swallowing Don't wait for the symptoms to worsen. Contact your vet immediately to get your cat the necessary treatment. They may recommend inducing vomiting or administering medications to counteract the effects of the flea medication. In the meantime, keep your cat comfortable and calm. Offer them water and monitor their breathing and behavior. Avoid giving them any more flea medication until you've spoken to your vet. Remember, flea medication is designed to kill fleas, but it can also be toxic to cats if ingested in large amounts. Don't hesitate to seek help if you suspect your cat has been exposed to too much flea medication. 🐾 Your cat's health and safety should always be a top priority. Don't hesitate to seek veterinary help if you notice any concerning symptoms after administering flea medication.6. Alternative Flea Control Methods for CatsLooking for flea control methods for your cat that don't involve harsh chemicals? Here are some alternatives: Regular grooming: Brush your cat regularly to remove fleas and their eggs. Diatomaceous earth: Sprinkle this powder on your cat's fur and bedding to dehydrate fleas. Lemon spray: Mix lemon juice and water in a spray bottle and apply to your cat's fur. Essential oils: Use lavender, peppermint, or eucalyptus oil to repel fleas. Flea comb: Use a flea comb to remove fleas and their eggs from your cat's fur. Remember to consult with your vet before trying any new flea control method. 🐾7. Importance of Regular Flea Prevention for CatsFleas are a common problem for cats, causing itching, discomfort, and potential health issues. Regular flea prevention is crucial to keep your feline friend healthy and happy. 🐱 Fleas can transmit diseases, cause anemia, and even lead to tapeworm infections. Prevention methods include topical treatments, collars, and oral medications. Consult with your veterinarian to find the best option for your cat. 💊 Fleas can quickly infest your home, so prevention is key. Vacuum regularly and wash bedding in hot water. Keep your cat away from other animals that may have fleas. 🧹 Even indoor cats can get fleas, as they can be carried in on clothing or shoes. Don't skip flea prevention just because your cat doesn't go outside. Prevention is easier than treating an infestation. 🚫 Flea prevention should be a year-round effort, not just during peak flea season. Consistency is key to keeping your cat flea-free. 📅 Regular flea prevention not only benefits your cat's health but also saves you money in the long run by avoiding costly treatments for flea infestations. 🤑 Don't wait until your cat is scratching and uncomfortable to start flea prevention. Start now to keep your furry friend healthy and happy. ❤️ In conclusion, cat drooling after licking flea med is a common occurrence. It's important to follow the instructions on the medication and keep it out of reach of your cat. If your cat shows any signs of distress, contact your veterinarian immediately. Remember to always monitor your cat's behavior after giving them any medication. 🐱💊👀 And don't forget to regularly treat your cat for fleas to prevent future infestations. 🚫🦟🐾 By taking these precautions, you can ensure your cat stays healthy and happy. 🙌🐈 https://fleatreatment.uk/cat-drooling-after-licking-flea-med/?_unique_id=6462869175329

Thor just about ready to go lights out after lights out after having his morning breakfast and kisses with his Cat-Dad. Went to an excellent class at @sheridancollegewy Thursday night called, "Why Does My Cat Pee On The Bed?". It was given by Dr. Rachel Kristiansen, PhD. (She is the Daughter of Thor's Grandma Elaine, who had eye surgery yesterday, so everyone please send her your thoughts and prayers and good meows, thank you.) It was an exploration of feline behavior. I highly recommend the class to everyone the next time it may be given. Even smarty pants me learned a bunch of things. Remember, the mind is like a parachute, it only functions when it is open! #felinebehavior #catsofwyoming #sheridancollege (at Sheridan Square Apartments)
