Why is my dog drooling excessively, foamy or pink, and not eating?

Question

My dog is drooling, excessively which is uncharacteristic of her. It is "foamy" white, or slightly pinkish color. She also seems to have a diminished appetite for the last 2-3 days. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 9 years and 6 months old | 55 lbs

Drooling is often a sign of nausea in dogs, however it can also sometimes occur if there is a dental issue such as a cracked or infected tooth, underlying illnesses, or in the case of ingesting something toxic. In minor cases of stomach upset, boiled rice and chicken for a few meals can help. However, If Kirby is drooling and has also had a reduced appetite, or is showing other signs of illness, it is best to seek veterinary care ASAP to try and find the underlying problem. Other signs of a potential issue can include vomiting, diarrhea, attempting to vomit or defecate without success, bloated abdomen, painful abdomen, staggering or confusion, which should be examined by a vet.
