Drooling, lethargic, dilated pupils. Possible accidental THC consumption
It sounds like your cat might have accidentally consumed THC, which can be quite concerning. THC can have toxic effects on cats, leading to symptoms like drooling, lethargy, and dilated pupils, as you mentioned. Other possible symptoms include vomiting, convulsions, and various neurological signs.
Given the symptoms and the potential for THC toxicity, it's important to seek immediate veterinary care. THC can cause significant adverse effects, and your cat may need specific treatments such as fluid therapy, medications to counteract the effects, and supportive care.
In the meantime, try to keep your cat calm and in a quiet, safe environment. Avoid giving any food or water until you get professional advice, as this could potentially worsen the situation.
Please take your cat to the veterinary clinic as soon as possible to ensure she receives the appropriate care and treatment.
If you have any further questions please ask us. Thank you.

She's doing well. She did not ingest THC, but had a bad tooth that got infected and fell out a day later. She's being scheduled for an appointment with a local vet tech here in the next week or two. She is doing much better now, but I want to have some preventative care done as well as an assessment of her other teeth
I'm glad to hear that she is doing better and that you've identified the issue with her tooth. Dental health is very important for cats, and it's great that you're planning to have her teeth assessed and to take preventative measures.
If Monster tolerates it, brushing her teeth regularly with a cat-specific toothbrush and toothpaste can significantly help in preventing plaque buildup and dental disease. Start slowly and make it a positive experience by using treats and praise.
Since she's already scheduled for an appointment, make sure to discuss these preventative measures with your vet. They can provide specific recommendations tailored to your cat's needs and ensure her teeth remain healthy.
