My dog's drooling excessively. Is it his broken tooth or GI issues?

Excessive drooling in dogs can be due to nausea, bloat, dental problems, poisonous plants, or heat stroke. Whether this is bad or not depends on the presence of other signs, such as vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, excessive panting, or behavior out of the ordinary. If Bugsy is simply excessively drooling, he could be feeling nauseous or may have a dental problem, but if there are other symptoms, then it is likely something more serious. If there are any of the symptoms I mentioned above or his behavior is different from the normal, I would take him into a vet now. If he's just drooling, I would monitor him. Should the drooling continue for hours or additional symptoms develop, I would take him into the vet.

Hypersalivation can be caused by issues swallowing, nausea, or dental disease. Sometimes, twigs or sharp objects can get logded between the teeth or in the palate, so you can take a look in Kola's mouth if he will allow it safely. Unfortunately, their is no "quick fix" as the cause is not known. If you believe that Kola is having trouble swallowing (dribbling water, unable to swallow food) he should be seen immediately, as he may aspirate and can develop pneumonia. Otherwise, you should monitor him closely and have him seen as soon as possible.

Excessive drooling can happen for a few different reasons, but I wouldn't worry about anything serious if he is otherwise eating, drinking and acting normal. There are certain house plants, materials, or chemicals that can cause a dog to drool excessively. It would be good to keep an eye out for anything like that and remove it from the environment if he is chewing on it. Drooling can also happen with mouth pain. This is often due to dental disease (less likely in a young dog), laceration of the tongue or gums, or something stuck in his mouth. It's good to have a good look in his mouth and see if you can identify any obvious problems. If Teddy is not getting better after two days, or is not acting normal, then it would be best to take him to a vet for an exam. I understand that money is an issue, but there are often various options in these cases and I recommend contacting a local animal rescue for advice about affordable veterinary care. I hope that helps and Teddy gets

Hello, and thank you for your question. Colds are typically not transmissible between dogs and humans, so I think this is unlikely. The drooling may be a sign of nausea, or pain in the mouth. Are you able to see if there is anything stuck in his mouth? If his appetite and energy are low, or if he seems anxious or in distress, I would take him to the vet today. If his only symptom is drooling, I would suggest keeping an eye on him and take him to the vet if it is still happening tomorrow. I hope this helps and that Ziggy is feeling better soon!

Hi there I'm so sorry to hear about Oliver's troubles. First, and most importantly, I always ask if a drooling dog has had a rabies vaccine and if they may have come in contact with a wild animal or another dog or cat with unknown vaccine history. If any of the above is the case, even though the chances are low, I would still take precautions and make sure to avoid contact with the saliva or bodily fluids until Oliver sees his veterinarian. If he has had his rabies vaccine, or there is little to no chance that he could have come in contact with another infected animal, then I would be a little less cautious, but still take him in to see his veterinarian. He could be nauseous, which is a very common cause of nausea. This could be because he ate something he shouldn't have and it is bothering his stomach, or he had a recent change in diet, or a new treat introduced. Sometimes rawhide type chews can break off into pieces and get stuck in the stomach causing intermittent nausea. Puppies

Excessive drooling can be a sign of nausea, eating something toxic or bitter, tooth problem (such as infection), or a salivary duct blockage, among other things. If the excessive drooling continues, Scoopy should be seen by a vet to determine what's causing the drooling. However, if it has already resolved then you can simply monitor Scoopy for any further symptoms.

Too much drool, or hypersalivation, can be a sign of illness. Here are some causes: Heat stroke and heat exhaustion, nausea and anxiety can cause episodes of drooling. Mouth disease and tooth decay: Tarter buildup can rub against the inside of your dog’s lip, causing drool. To check, pull his lip back toward his ear. Do his teeth look like concrete? Are they brown? Are his gums red, swollen, or bleeding? If so, try a professional cleaning and then daily brushing. Your vet can check for gingivitis, mouth ulcers, and tumors as well. Organ disease: Liver and kidney diseases, for example, can cause drooling. As they age, dogs are more likely to get sick. Vets suggest annual checkups to diagnose and treat diseases early. Poisonous plants: Common plants like tulips, azaleas, and chrysanthemums can not only make your dog drool, but also make him sick. Keep your dog from eating them. For a list of poisonous plants, consult the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (AS

Congrats on your new puppy, but I'm sorry Borris is having some issues. This excessive drooling could be due to the stress of the new puppy, and it's good that it's starting to get better. It could also be due to something like dental disease or nausea. If this drooling continues over the next 24 hours, then have him checked out by a vet. Best of luck.

Poor Felix! I agree, it definitely sounds like something is wrong inside his mouth. He may have a dental problem such as a broken or infected tooth, or may have a wound, a growth, or even some type of foreign body stuck there. I would strongly recommend taking him to the vet for an exam. He/she can do a thorough oral exam (with sedation, if needed) to determine what's wrong, and get him started on appropriate treatment depending on what is found.

This is concerning for an oral issue, which could be an infected tooth, something stuck in the mouth, autoimmune or inflammatory conditions in the mouth, etc. Until we have a diagnosis, I can’t tell you what would be the best treatment. Casper really needs to be seen by a vet to determine what is going on.
