Excessively Drooling & Jumpy Behaviour

Hi vets, my 2 year old ragdoll has been excessively drooling since this morning. He ate all of his breakfast no problem, has been drinking water and using his litter but he is not one to drool unless he is getting his belly rubbed and he’s happy. In March he had a crystal causing a urinary blockage and was in emergency for 4 days. Since then he’s been on a urinary diet and hasn’t had any issues urinating. Is the drooling reason for concern?

Hello - yes, drooling usually is a concern; some of the reasons will self-resolve while others most definitely won't and may even be an emergency.   The rest of the examination and history are vital in determining where on the 'urgency' spectrum a patient sits.  A rough, incomplete (differentials) list might include causes of intense nausea such as  diabetic ketoacidosis, kidney failure, pancreatitis, toxicity (from the severe to gaving licked something irritant); physical causes such as mouth injury, foreign body, dental disease (acute or chronic).  Also tumour, neurological issues, recent licking of something unpleasant.  Wishing you all the best in getting to the bottom of this case.
