Dribbling problem! What can I do.....

    :eek: :eek: :eek: My older cat Puss, who wil be 2 in September has a bit of a diblling problem. Here's some history.....

    We rescued him from a farm house when he was 5 weeks old and without a mother. I had him fixed at 6 months and at 1 year of age he was struck with a bladder infection. 3 weeks in the bathroom and medicine, he is fine. Switched to Science Diet (Doctors orders). Still doing god. Oh, I should mention that he is an inside cat.
    I have noticed in the last several months that when he gets on the windowsill to look outside, he gets excited and dribbles. Also, he can be laying down, minding his own business and he'll immediately clean himself of droplets.
    The cat box is cleaned VERY frequently and he always has good food and fresh water......
    I am wondering if he has a weak bladder. I also wonder if he still doesn't get man-cat urges although he's fixed. He sure acts like it and could that cause him to dribble?
    I threaten to make him and indoor/outdoor cat, but the thought of picking my cat up off the road scares me to death.
    :roll:

    I'd get him rechecked for another UTI...sometimes they don't entirely clear up.
    Did they retest his urine when he'd been off the antibiotic for a few days? I had a dog who was chronic with UTIs and they always retested her urine about 7 days after ending her round of meds.
    And she'd dribble.
    I would start there.
    Is he on the prescription foods? If just plain old Science Diet food - yuckie stuff. Vets also push that stuff but it's garbage. The prescription foods are geared toward specific health issues.
    Is he eating only dry food?

    He is currently on Science Diet and likes it. I give him a treat every once in a while of tuna, but not very often.
    I will call my vet tomorrow and see about getting Puss re checked.
    Thanks

    I agree with Mary in getting him rechecked. Also have his teeth checked out, excessive dribbling can be pain related with teeth problems....on the other hand it could be an excitement thing, one of my cats used to do the same....his teeth would like 'chatter' and hed drool when he was watching a bird outside (a friends Pit Bull did the same thing whenever he saw a cat, especially kittens, he would get really excited and wanted to play with them which most of the time he was allowed to but sometimes if hed been told to leave, he would just lay there watching them....and the dribbling would start).
