Drooling and making odd noises

Ditto everything HeidiQ said.

Wish it was better news, but hopefully the sweet essence of time will fix the problem. Just make sure that he's still pooping and eating, because if he's blocked and can't poop he could be in trouble very quickly. Or if he's not eating because it's making him vomit somewhere that you haven't discovered, that's also a problem. Cats are so little that foreign bodies can cause major problems very quickly - my Fergie nearly died right before the holidays after she swallowed a big chunk of string that had started to twist her intestines by the time it was surgically removed. I wouldn't wish that experience on anyone!

Good luck, and let us know how things turn out!

Thanks for all the well wishes. Kiley has been eating and drinking this whole time (before the cat lax), and he is starting to spit up a bit... probably because of the cat lax. I was worried he might not be pottying - but this morning he went poo in the box in our room. Honey and I've never been so happy for to see poop in our life.

He's still working his jaw though and no hairballs (unless Momo is eatting them)... and I've not seen a big poo with hair in it yet from him. But he does seem a lot happier - even though he gets nervous when I come around him with a glob of goop on my finger.

Good news! It seems Kiley is getting back to normal. He's eatting and drinking a lot more and going potty more too. He's scratching the post, playing with the dog and wants lots of attention.

Yesterday afternoon I came home for lunch to find him sleeping on his back, proped up on one of my pillows. He looked so aweful that I rubbed his tummy to make him feel better... and then he vomited on his belly. I was going to tell Brad we were taking him back to the vet today after work.

Then when I got home last night he looked so much better! No more vomiting or spitting or working his jaw or gaging. He drank a lot of water and sucked down his food instead of just acting midly interested. His hair is really crusty all around from the spit and dregs of vomit - but that's nothing a good bath and brushing can't cure.

I hope I don't jinx myself but he seems to be doing great! It seems like he worked out whatever was bothering him.

Yay! I think that is wonderful news!

Oh, yay! Good news indeed!
