First, I would look around your house and yard and see if there is anything you can find that Olivia ate or got into. If you find something, post a new question and we can help you find out if it is toxic. Drooling can be a sign of nausea, something bitter-tasting in the mouth, or a reaction to a toxic substance. Possible causes of diarrhea include food intolerance, food allergies, intestinal parasites, dietary indiscretion, bacterial or viral infection, toxic exposure, stress colitis, among others. I would recommend that you remove any food for 12 hours to give her stomach a chance to rest. She can continue to have water or pedialyte. If she still has drooling/vomiting and diarrhea in 24 hours, she should see a vet immediately as puppies can get dehydrated very quickly. She should also be seen by a vet if she has a poor appetite, is lethargic, or is just not back to normal soon.
