Yes, the tablet may taste bad causing her to drool. If she is still having breathing problems than your vet should take an x-ray to evaluate her lungs. If you are having a hard time giving the tablet, you could ask your vet for a liquid medication. She may also need an anti-inflammatory, bronchodilator, and/or a cough suppresant. Please call your vet and give him/her an update.
