Treatment

Your veterinarian will treat the underlying cause of the ptyalism, once it has been effectively diagnosed. Although it is generally not necessary, your doctor may also treat the outward symptoms to reduce the flow of saliva. Nutritional supplements may be recommended if your cat has been suffering from ptyalism for any length of time and has not been able to eat properly.

Living and Management

Depending on the underlying cause, your veterinarian will want to monitor your cat as often as necessary to make certain that the treatment plan is effective.
