Hi I've just given jasmine a Drontal chewy worming tablet and she was foaming at the mouth within a minute of it, when I say foam I mean a santa beard the other half she spat out Is this a reaction to the taste ? I'm amazed if it is as I thought they were made to appeal and I have seen her eat some disgusting things in her life lol She's absolutely fine in every other way and there's no vomiting

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Jasmine. I suspect that she reacted the taste of the medication. Drooling is a sign of a bad taste in a dog's mouth. If her symptoms have resolved, you do not need to worry. However, if she is still drooling excessively, then she will need to see her veterinarian. I hope this information helps!
