Why is my cat dripping clear fluid from her mouth? Should I worry?

Question

My 4 year old cat is dripping clear fluid from her mouth. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 3 years and 5 months old

Dr. Melanie, BVSc MS · Accepted Answer

The clear fluid is likely saliva. Hyper salivation can be caused by nausea, pain, dental problems, or exposure to toxins. Because I can't see Bella in person and evaluate her, I'm going to recommend you take her into your vet now to be safe. If she is eating normally, drinking normally, behaving normally, and going to the bathroom normally, you can wait until the morning to bring her. If she has stopped hyper salivating overnight, it's up to you if you want to bring her in for a check, but I would recommend it to be safe.
