It could be due to stress, excitement or infection. Without a physical exam, it is quite difficult to determine the exact cause. What you can do is monitor Trufa for lethargy, difficulty breathing, decreased appetite or a change in amount or appearance of the foam. Consider an exam with your veterinarian if you see any of the above symptoms.
