my kitty dribbles [Archive]

I recently rescued a stray kitten. She is about 5 months old now and she dribbles. There are tiny wet spots around her litter box and on the bare floors. She uses clumping litter and there are miniscule clumps in her litter box (besides the regular ones). When I first brought her in she would always leave a couple of drops on my T-shirt when I held her.

Please help if you've had a similar experience with a small kitten dribbling? :confused:

While I have not had personal experience with dribbling, I have looked into one of the books I keep on Vet Care.

Dribbling can be a sign of a urinary tract infection. I would definately speak to your vet and have her evaluated. Sorry I'm not more help.

Sorry for asking, but what is "dribblle"?

Sounds like she's saying that her kitty leaves little dribbles (drops) of pee. I would also make sure she does not have a urinary tract infection.

BTW: I forgot to say welcome to Pet Talk! You will love it here.

I would most definitely take that kitty to the vet.

Thank you all for your suggestions to help with Angel's problem. I guess it's off to the vet today. :)

Welcome to Pet Talk uschka. Would love to see pictures of your little Angel. Bless you for rescuing her.

I'm glad that you have taken the others suggestion on getting her to a vet.
Please let us know how everything went.

I called the vet yesterday morning and no one ever called me back. So I will try again today.

I have no way of getting pictures since I have an ancient computer and no digital camera....

Please call that vet again, or look for another one, as your kitty needs help urgently!:(

Called the vet again - Angel is naow on Clavamox. I hope that will clear things up. She is such a darling kitten and I want her to be well and happy.

Thanks to all of you for your concern.
