Dogs temperament is fine but drool dripping from left side of mouth. Does not seem in pain and will let you open and close mouth. Do we need to take her to a 24 hour vet? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Female | spayed | 61 lbs

Poor Lola. Unless she is foaming at the mouth, there is excessive drool from her mouth, vomiting, refusing to eat, or acting abnormal then I would watch her closely. If the drool is continuing tomorrow or becomes excessive, then I would consider taking her to your emergency vet. Drooling can be a sign of toxin ingestion but they usually are drilling excessively and it isn’t just from one side of the mouth. She could be drooling due to nausea, a tooth problem, oral ulcers, tumors in the mouth and much more. Your vet will be able to help determine the cause if she continues. I hope this helps.

Hi. Drooling can occur from nausea, oral infections, GI diseases, and dental problems. She may have an oral issue and some can be painful. I would recommend getting her in tonight or first thing tomorrow for the Gosport aspect. Good luck.

Drooling can be a sign of nausea, occasionally pain, or an oral lesion or tooth problem. Sometimes ingestion of something that has a bad taste or something caustic can also cause drooling. I would recommend having your vet perform a complete oral exam if the drooling continues.

Excessive salivation can mostly commonly be due to nausea or can occur immediately after eating something caustic like certain plant material that is very irritating to the mouth. It can also be caused by tooth pain or if they have chewed something that is stuck in the throat/tonsil (this is often accompanied by excessive swallowing or hacking). I'm not sure how long he has not been drinking but it is likely secondary to whatever is causing the drooling. I would check his mouth for an obvious tooth issue or foreign material. If the drooling is continuing i would have him evaluated by a veterinarian. They can do a complete oral exam and also palpate his abdomen to sort out what is causing the salivation. They can do tests to figure out if there is more serious underlying cause (e.g. Pancreatitis causing nausea) and can prescribe medication accordingly. I really hope glen is feeling better soon.
