Hi, I remember seeing a few people on previous posts mention about their kitty cat licking their lips more frequently. I can't remember if this is a good or bad thing and what it means and can't find the old posts.

Any help please :)

Just before Maddie started on insulin she often did the lip-smacking-nausea thing when presented with food. The licking is often accompanied by a jerk of their head to one side and/or working their jaw as if there's something caught in their mouth. Once you've seen it a couple of times, it's easy to tell from the "my tongue's so long I can lick my entire face!" thing they do after yummy <insert favourite food>.
 
Is Douglas not eating? Normally ondanestron (zofran) or Cerenia are given for nausea. Not sure if that's the same in the UK though!
He's eating fine at the moment so maybe I am just over reacting.
There was part of me that was thinking I could give something to settle his stomach, like I would drink a chamomile tea:D

I think he was just grooming his face and an overreaction from my part. I think I was a little worried as his AMPS was higher this morning than last couple of days
