My dog has bloat, drooling, won't eat, eye ulcer. What's wrong?

Question

My mini daxie (11 months) had to go to Emergency vets with bloat/foaming/hypersalivation of the mouth 2 days ago. Bloat went away + bloods+heart have come back normal. No obstructions in throat/mouth, nothing on x-rays. However still hypersalivation after 36hrs+ which isn't normal with potential poisoning. Not eating or drinking. Now has eye ulcer. Being monitored and having fluids at the vets but it's a mystery. Being referred to general specialists. Very worried- any ideas what could be wrong?

Hello, sorry to hear about your pup. You're describing signs of a GI upset. The hyper salivation and foaming may both be signs of nausea. The bloated abdomen may be a sign of increase gas within the GI tract. This could caused by a dysbiosis of the normal GI flora or a separate disease process such as a obstructive foreign body that is not showing up on x-rays, a stomach ulcer, a severe dietary indiscretion, or pancreatitis. Other causes such as liver disease or kidney disease should have shown up on bloodwork. I think continuing care with a specialist and pursuing further diagnostics such as an abdominal ultrasound are warranted. Hope this helps and best of luck.
