Hello, and thank you for your question. I'm sorry to hear that Jessie is unwell. There are many possible causes for her symptoms, for example, she may be nauseous due to toxin ingestion or an upset tummy. She may be painful in her abdomen. Or, she may just be teething which can cause mild discomfort and drooling. If her symptoms do not improve in the next few hours, I would recommend getting her to the vet. They can perform a full physical exam to detect any areas of pain or discomfort, and check for fever and dehydration. If necessary, they may recommend blood work or x-rays to narrow down a cause. At minimum, they may be able to prescribe pain medications if pain is suspected. I hope this helps, and that Jessie feels better soon.
