Bonnie, vomiting a clear liquid is often a sign of excess stomach acid. 2.5 mg of Original Strength Pepcid AC EOD seems to help most kitties. By the way I disagree with your vet. Any upset should be investigated and treated. Sharyl --- On Mon, 10/25/10, Bonnie Hogue wrote: > From: Bonnie Ho

I just got a cat off death row in the Bronx...I thought that she's a real drooler...nope, she has a very bad URI and her nose is literally dripping all over the floor and my lap when I hold herI could have sworn she was drooling until she shook her head and I saw the drops from her little nose.

Bonnie,   I have a large cat that DROOLS worse than any mastiff!  Part of the reason is that I had to have his one fang removed when he was rescued b/c it was broken off and rotten.  NOW, nearly every time his gets up...there is a good sized drool spot where he was laying.  It's a bit disgusting

Thanks, Natalie. I took Lucky to the vet last week; he didn't seem to have a uti or kidney issue. In fact, Lucky has "bounced back" quite remarkably -- his fur is thickening up nicely, growing back in the bald spots and (best of all) he's putting back on his weight. Eats good, drinks good

I have dealt with many, many renal failure cats - some urine may be quite diluted if cat gets fluids daily; however, those that don't and don't drink enough water, the urine can be quite concentrated. I've also had an older cat that didn't get sub-q fluids, and he always peed under himself in his
