She is drooling excessively but she’s acting normal and eating


It's understandable to be concerned about your cat's excessive drooling, but since she's acting normally and eating well, it might not be an immediate cause for alarm. There are several reasons why a cat might drool. Dental issues, like tartar buildup or gum disease, can cause discomfort and lead to drooling. On the other hand, some cats drool when they're relaxed and content, especially if they're purring or kneading.
Here are a few steps you can take at home to monitor her condition:
Firstly, take a look inside her mouth for any obvious signs of dental issues, such as red or swollen gums, or broken teeth. If you notice anything unusual, it's a good idea to keep a close watch on it.
Secondly, make sure she always has access to fresh, clean water to keep her well-hydrated.
Additionally, observe her behavior for any changes. Look out for signs like reluctance to eat, pawing at her mouth, or bad breath, as these could indicate a dental problem.
Since this drooling is a new behavior, it's wise to monitor her for any changes. If the drooling continues or you notice other symptoms, such as changes in appetite or behavior, consulting with a veterinarian would be a prudent step to rule out any underlying issues.
If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out. Thank you.
