Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Drooling is often a sign of nausea which you may observe with conditions such as pancreatitis, dietary indiscretion, gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, gastrointestinal foreign body ingestion and obstruction, among other possibilities. I recommend that you have her evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Good luck and have a good day!
