Cat drooling white foamy mucus

I have a spayed one year old female cat. My cat has white, foamy bubbly mucus-like drool coming out of her mouth. At first, she looks like she's chewing and/or trying to get something out of her mouth, then the foamy stuff comes out.


Let me start by saying that I am sorry that, due to the high volume of emails we receive daily, I have been unable to answer your question more quickly.

If you haven't done so already, please take your cat to a veterinarian immediately. Your cat may have ingested something toxic, requiring immediate veterinary care. She may also be suffering from severe dental disease or a tumor in her mouth or throat.

Please be aware, as we say throughout the site, we are not available to answer questions 24 hours a day, and even if we were, there is nothing that can be done to cure your cat over the internet. Anytime there are such concerning cat illness symptoms as those you have described, you should contact a local veterinarian as soon as possible.

Kindest regards,
Dr. Neely
