Question

my dog is undergoing chemo for lymphoma and she will not eat but continually salavates and drools. Pet's info: Dog | Boxer | Female | spayed | 7 years and 4 months old

Poor Millie! Chemo does make a dog quite nauseous, and that would cause her to not want to eat and excessively drool. I would speak to your vet to see if they can prescribe her an appetite stimulant. You can also try offering her some tasty food, such as boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice, or try soaking her dry food on gently warmed low sodium beef or chicken broth.
