I have just given my cat synulox drops as
perscribed by the vet, 1.25 ml straight
from the bottle, it has caused him to
salivate quite badly and has caused him
some distress, does this mean he has had
an allergic reaction?


Could you describe what you mean by distress? Generally, the excess
salivation is caused when something does not taste good to the cat, and
some medications will even cause major foaming at the mouth if the cats
gets a taste of it. If distress means he's just acting like he tasted
something yucky that's probably exactly what's going on.

That is what I am thinking. Bitter medications can make a cat foam something
terrible. ONce I was pilling my cat Odie and he chomped down on the pill but
luckily my vet had warned me. Still I was not prepared for the AMOUNT of
foam that he put out. It was unpleasant. The farther back in the mouth you
can get the medication the better.
