Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Male | neutered | 10 years and 1 month old | 125 lbs
I have a ten year old German Shepard. He has been snorting and drooling from the left side of his mouth like he has something stuck in his throat. I can't see anything. I do not have pictures.

I would worry that there could be an abscessed tooth or maybe something stuck in the mouth where you want see if. Harley needs to see the veterinarian for an exam. The doctor may need to sedate Harley to look for something stuck in the mouth. If nothing is seen, Harley needs dental radiographs to look for an abscess. Both these conditions can be painful so I would take Harley in quickly. Hope this helps!
