Why is my cat drooling clear, watery saliva after giving birth?

Question

My cat Patches who is a female has been having problems. Her mouth keeps discharging a clear salvia substances but it's not thick. It's like water, she's been doing this since yesterday Sep 9/18 morning at 8:30 till today sep 10/18. She's had recently given birth to two kittens last month and she's been eating and drinking water normally. My other cat is fine, he has no symptoms and appears healthy, like her. What should I do?

You should have Patches checked out by a vet. Clear discharge could actually be saliva from hypersalivation. This can be caused by issues or pain swallowing, some types of infections like FIV, stomatitis, dental disease, among others. The vet will do a thorough exam and may need to do bloodwork to diagnose the condition and find an appropriate treatment.
