My cat keeps sticking out its tongue, drooling, won’t eat, and is listless
Drooling and not eating in a cat may be from oral disease such as stomatitis or mouth ulcers, or pharyngitis. Early pharyngitis shows slow eating, later difficulty eating, drooling, vomiting, pharyngeal congestion, and pain. For pharyngitis, give pet-specific anti-inflammatory medication and soft or liquid food; for stomatitis, use a pet oral antiseptic spray and address the cause with good care.

Clear mouth liquid has many causes: just after vomiting (water mixed with airway/stomach mucus); bitter or irritating food/drugs triggering drooling; or stomatitis, mouth ulcers, or gingivitis. With nasal discharge too, a respiratory disease or choking while drinking is possible. Match the situation and see a vet if unsure.
What happens if a dog eats brown sugar?
A little brown sugar is harmless, but a dog's digestion differs from ours; too much can cause obesity, diabetes, or imbalance. It also harms oral health (swollen gums, ulcers, loose teeth). Avoid it; for sweetness use safe natural options like honey, cheese, or pumpkin, always in moderation.

My cat has been drooling for several days and looks unwell
Persistent drooling in cats is usually from oral problems; check for bone splinters or yarn between teeth, or ulcers, gingivitis, stomatitis, red gums or loose teeth. Clean away debris carefully; for inflammation use pet oral spray, iodine glycerin or metronidazole. If no improvement in 3-5 days, see a vet.
My cat has a red patch on its tongue — maybe scratched — but otherwise seems fine
A red patch on a cat's tongue can be an ulcer from viral or bacterial stomatitis, from low water and too much meat causing heat, or from vitamin deficiency.
